Flag clear – Moderately Critical – Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) – SA-CONTRIB-2017-017

Description

The Flag clear module allows administrators to remove user flags for content. This functionality is often useful in user-submission use-cases, where users do not necessarily need to unflag things on their own.

The module doesn’t sufficiently protect from CSRF attacks. The unflagging links do not include a token.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must be targeting users with the ‘clear flags’ role. They must also discover a valid combination of flag, content and user IDs for flagged content.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

  • All Flag clear module versions prior to 7.x-2.0.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Flag clear module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

Also see the Flag clear project page.

Search API Sorts – Moderately Critical – Cross Site Scripting (XSS) – SA-CONTRIB-2017-016

Description

The Search API Sorts module allows the site administrator to configure custom sort options for their search results and expose the control interface via the core block system.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitise the name of the sort option which is displayed to users.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with permission ‘administer search_api’.

Versions affected

  • Search API Sorts 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.7

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Search API sorts module, there is nothing you need to do.
