SA-CONTRIB-2015-031 – GD Infinite Scroll – Multiple vulnerabilites

Description

GD Infinite Scroll module enables you to use the “infinite scroll jQuery plugin : auto-pager” on custom pages.

Some links were not protected against CSRF. A malicious user could cause another user with the “edit gd infinite scroll settings” permission to delete settings by getting his browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.

Also, the module fails to sanitize user input in its admin page, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “edit gd infinite scroll settings”.
