SA-CONTRIB-2015-032 – Node Invite – Multiple vulnerabilities

Leave a comment

Description

Node Invite module enables you to invite people to RSVP on node types that have been configured to represent events.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize the titles of nodes in some listings, allowing a malicious user to inject code, thereby leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have permission to create or edit nodes configured to be used for RSVP.

Additionally, some URLs are not protected against CSRF. A malicious user can cause a user with the “node_invite_can_manage_invite” permission to re-enable node invitations by getting his browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.

Lastly, the module is not checking that some destination parameters are internal URLs, thereby leading to an Open Redirect vulnerability.
