Drupal Security Contributed Module Updates
SA-CONTRIB-2012-022 - CDN - Information disclosure
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-022
- Project: CDN (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2012-February-15
- Security risk: Critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
The CDN module provides easy Content Delivery Network integration for Drupal sites. It alters file URLs, so that files are downloaded from a CDN instead of your web server.
When running in Origin Pull mode together with the "Far Future expiration" option, the module contains a vulnerability that allows anyone to view the contents of any *.php file within the site, including settings.php.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the site owner must have enabled the "Far Future expiration" option, and must be using the latest version of the module.
Versions affected- CDN version 6.x-2.2
- CDN version 7.x-2.2
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed CDN module, there is nothing you need to do.
SolutionInstall the latest version:

SA-CONTRIB-2012-021 - Organic Groups Vocab Access Bypass
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-021
- Project: Organic Groups Vocabulary (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-February-15
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
This module enables you to have a specific vocabulary per organic group.
The module doesn't sufficiently check access to vocabularies while allowing a group admin to edit the vocabularies.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to "administer own group vocabulary" and be an admin of another group.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-020 - Faster Permissions - Access bypass
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-020
- Project: Faster Permissions (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2012-February-15
- Security risk: Highly critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
This module enables you to configure the permissions of a specific module on a separate page. This is especially handy for sites with a large list of permissions.
The module doesn't sufficiently check for the required permissions when the provided permission administration is displayed and therefore allows users without the required permissions to configure module permissions.
Versions affected- Faster Permissions 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Faster Permissions module, there is nothing you need to do.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-019 - Link checker - Access bypass
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-019
- Project: Link checker (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-February-15
- Security risk: Less critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
The Link checker module extracts links from your site's content and periodically tries to detect broken links and report them so they can be fixed.
The module does not correctly check permission to access the site's content before displaying broken links that were found within it, leading to an access bypass vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by several factors: The site must have private content (for example, if a node access or CCK field access module is being used), and the Link checker module must be configured to display broken links to users who do not already have permission to bypass content access control. Also, only the URLs of the broken links are displayed, so this vulnerability is only serious if the content of those URLs is potentially sensitive (for example, if the URL contains a username and password or a secure token, or if it would reveal sensitive information about topics being discussed in the rest of the private content).
Versions affected- Link checker 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.5.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Link checker module, there is nothing you need to do.
SolutionInstall the latest version:
- If you use the Link checker module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Link checker 6.x-2.5.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-018 - Revisioning - Cross Site Scripting
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-018
- Project: Revisioning (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-FEB-08
- Security risk: Less critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
The Drupal Revisioning module (https://drupal.org/project/revisioning) "is a module for the configuration of workflows to create, moderate and publish content revisions."
The Revisioning module contains a persistent cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to the fact that it fails to sanitize tags before display.
Users with the ability to create content and tags that are submitted to a review queue could include malicious JavaScript or HTML as part of their tags. Users reviewing the queue would then become victims of the XSS attack.
The risk is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have the ability to create taxonomy terms (either "administer taxonomy" or via a freetagging vocabulary).
Versions affected- Revisioning 6.x-3.13 and prior.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Revisioning module, there is nothing you need to do.
SolutionInstall the latest version:
- Upgrade to Revisioning 6.x-3.14

SA-CONTRIB-2012-017 - Finder - Multiple vulnerabilities
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-017
- Project: Finder (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2012-February-08
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Arbitrary PHP code execution, Multiple vulnerabilities
Finder is a Drupal module that allows users to create faceted search forms. The module's autocomplete, checkbox, and radio button functionalities previously did not sanitize the output of fields and raw database values.
In addition, users with the "administer finder" permission were able to execute arbitrary code through a PHP import interface; specific PHP execution permissions were not required.Updated: This issue affected only the 7.x branch of code. The 6.x branch used the permission "administer finder PHP settings" which is sufficiently clear that it allows execution of PHP code.
Versions affected- Finder 6.x-1.x prior to 6.x-1.26
- Finder 7.x-1.x versions (all)
- Finder 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.0-alpha8
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Finder module, there is nothing you need to do.
SolutionInstall the latest version:
- If you use the Finder module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Finder 6.x-1.26.
- If you use the Finder module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Finder 7.x-2.0-alpha8.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-016 - Forward module CSRF and Access bypass
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-016
- Project: Forward (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2012-February-01
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass, Cross Site Request Forgery
The Forward module enables you to add a "forward this page" link to each node. The link takes regular site visitors to a form where they can generate an email to a friend. The module exhibits multiple vulnerabilities as described below.
The module includes "Recent forwards" and "Most forwarded" blocks that display the titles of the most recently forwarded nodes and the nodes forwarded the most for all time. The module doesn't check that site visitors have permissions to view the node titles listed in these blocks, resulting in an access bypass. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that these blocks are disabled by default.
The module includes a "Dynamic Block" feature which adds a listing of the top 5 node titles to the bottom of the generated email to a friend. The module doesn't sufficiently check that the email recipient has permission to view the node titles included in the block, resulting in an access bypass. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the Dynamic Block feature is disabled by default.
The module includes clickthrough tracking so that the site administrator can determine which emails are generating the most clicks back to the site. The tracking code is vulnerable to CSRF because it uses a publicly available link that could be manipulated to falsely boost the perceived importance of a node.
Versions affected- Forward 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.21
- Forward 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Forward module, there is nothing you need to do.
SolutionInstall the latest version:
- If you use the Forward module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Forward 6.x-1.21
- If you use the Forward module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Forward 7.x-1.3
The upgrade is "code only" and does not require running the database update script.
IMPORTANT: Administrators of sites that rely on the Dynamic Block access bypass to operate correctly need to visit the Forward configuration page and explicitly select the Dynamic Block Access Control bypass option after upgrading. This should be rare, so most site administrators can simply upgrade the module without the need for additional configuration.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-015 - Managesite - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-015
- Project: Managesite (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-January-25
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
This module provides a way to build a control panel similar to the one provided by Drupal 7 on the admin zone (/admin). The module doesn't sufficiently filter user supplied text in the administration settings. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer managesite".

SA-CONTRIB-2012-014 - Drupal Commerce - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-014
- Project: Drupal Commerce (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2012-January-25
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Drupal Commerce is a flexible eCommerce framework built on Drupal 7 that lets you construct any type of eCommerce website. Part of its flexibility lies in its ability to render product fields into node displays through the product reference field used to build dynamic Add to Cart forms. In Drupal Commerce 1.1 this feature was expanded to also incorporate the "extra fields" of products, i.e. the product title and SKU.
The theme functions used to render product titles and SKUs prints those variables to the page without properly sanitizing them first. A user with the proper permissions could create a product that ends up in a node display where a malicious title or SKU is rendered.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have a role with a product creation permission, and since Drupal Commerce 1.1, the site must have been updated to make use of these extra fields in product display nodes as they default to being hidden on all product displays.
Versions affected- Drupal Commerce version 7.x-1.1.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Drupal Commerce module, there is nothing you need to do.
SolutionInstall the latest version:

SA-CONTRIB-2012-013 - Search Autocomplete - SQL Injection
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-013
- Project: Search Autocomplete (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2012-January-25
- Security risk: Critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: SQL Injection
The Search Autocomplete module allows you to add autocomplete functionality to the search fields of a Drupal site.
Search Autocomplete does not properly use Drupal's database API, making it possible for a malicious user to carryout SQL injection on the site. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that users must have a role with permission "use search_autocomplete" to exploit.
Versions affected- Search Autocomplete versions prior to 7.x-2.1.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Search Autocomplete module, there is nothing you need to do.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-009 - Revisioning - Access bypass
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-009
- Project: Revisioning (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2012-January-18
- Security risk: Less critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass
This module enables you to create moderation publication workflows, allowing authors to create content that isn't visible to the public until it has been approved by a moderator/publisher.
The module's implementation of hook_node_access() assumes that access is to granted/denied based on the logged-in user's permissions. However, the hook may be invoked in contexts whereby the access grants are to be returned for a particular account passed into the hook. This could result in an access bypass vulnerability if node_access() is called for a specific user account.
This vulnerability happens when using the XML sitemap module which as a result will disclose the URLs of un-accessible or unpublished content to anonymous users. The actual content itself is not disclosed.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-004 - Date - SQL injection
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-004
- Project: Date (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-January-11
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: SQL Injection
This module enables you to add and administer date fields to nodes. It includes Date Tools, that allows users to convert nodes created with the Event module into Date fields. The conversion form for Events is vulnerable to SQL injection.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer Date Tools", and the option is only available on sites which have used the Event module in the past and have the Event table in the database.
Versions affected- Date 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.8.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Date module, there is nothing you need to do.
SolutionInstall the latest version:
- If you use the Date module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Date 6.x-2.8
See also the Date project page.

SA-CONTRIB-2012-003 - Fill PDF - Multiple vulnerabilities
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-003
- Project: Fill PDF (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2012-JANUARY-04
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Access bypass, Arbitrary code execution
This module enables you to populate fillable PDF templates with data from nodes and webforms.
Access bypass (7.x only)Incorrectly-ordered arguments in a call to the function that handles the main functionality of the module makes it possible for an attacker to trigger any PDF to be filled, regardless of whether they have access to the node/webform or not, by passing an appropriately-formed query string argument.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker can only access configured PDF templates, that the attacker must know (or brute-force) the node or webform IDs, and that only information that is configured to be filled into the PDFs (and the filled PDF templates themselves) can be obtained through this exploit.
Arbitrary code execution (6.x and 7.x)The template importing and exporting used serialized PHP which required the use of an unsafe PHP function to evaluate and import templates, which could lead to execution of unwanted and untrusted code. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have the 'administer PDFs' permission.
Versions affected- Fill PDF 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.16.
- Fill PDF 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Fill PDF module, there is nothing you need to do.
SolutionInstall the latest version:
- If you use the Fill PDF module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Fill PDF 6.x-1.16.
- If you use the Fill PDF module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Fill PDF 7.x-1.2.
