Vulnerability Report

Date of Original Vendor Contact: May 27, 2009

Details of this vulnerability are also posted at the public URL
http://lampsecurity.org/drupal-print-module-vulnerabilities

Description of Vulnerability:


Drupal (http://drupal.org) is a robust content management system (CMS)
written in PHP and MySQL that provides extensibility through various
third party modules. The Printer, e-mail and PDF versions (hereafter
referred to as Print) module (http://drupal.org/project/print&#41; allows
for the generation of printer friendly versions of nodes, PDF version of
nodes, and the sending of nodes to e-mail recipients. The Print module
contains numerous cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities:

The Print module contains a XSS vulnerability because it does not
properly sanitize the output of the footers in printer friendly views.
This allows users with 'administer print' permissions to inject
arbitrary HTML in the footer field that is rendered whenever the printer
friendly version of any node is displayed.

The Print module also contains a XSS vulnerability due to the fact that
'Stylesheet URL' input is not properly sanitized when displayed. This
allows malicious users the ability to inject external stylesheet
locations into the link tag displayed on printer friendly versions of
nodes. This vulnerability, combined with Internet Explorer support for
"expression" in CSS allows for XSS attacks.

The print module also contains a XSS vulnerability due to the fact that
the 'site name' is not properly sanitized when displaying e-mail
confirmation in the "Thank you for spreading the word about [site_name]"
area. The print module also contains a XSS vulnerability due to the
fact that it does not properly sanitize the 'Thank You Message:' input.

The print module also contains a XSS vulnerability due to the fact that
it does not properly sanitize node titles for display in the breadcrumbs
on printer friendly versions of nodes.

The print module also contains a XSS vulnerability due to the fact that
it does not properly sanitize the 'font family' setting when displaying
PDF versions of nodes.

Systems affected:


Drupal 6.12 with Print 6.x-1.7 and TCPDF 4.6.012 was tested and shown to
be vulnerable to footer XSS injection. Drupal 6.12 with Print 6.x-1.7
and IE 6 was tested and shown to be vulnerable to link XSS injection.
Additional testing indicated that the 5.x branch of the Print module is
also vulnerable. Versions of Drupal more recent than those tested are
likely affected as well.

Impact:


XSS vulnerabilities may expose site administrative accounts to
compromise which could lead to web server process compromise.

Mitigating factors:


Print must be installed and enabled. Attacker must have 'administer
print' permissions in order to carry out the proof of concept exploit
detailed below. Site administration permissions are required to carry
out the site name injection described in the proof of concept below.
Internet Explorer is vulnerable to the malicious style sheet inclusion
proof of concept detailed below, other browsers may not be affected
depending on their support for the 'expression' statement in cascading
style sheets (CSS). Note that the proof of concept provided utilizes
known attack vectors, other vectors may exist.

Proof of concept:


  1. Install Drupal 6.12.
  2. Install Print and enable all Print functionality through Administer
    • -> Modules. Install TCPDF per the Print module INSTALL.txt
  1. In Administer -> Site configuration set the site name to
    "<script>alert('site name');</script>"
  2. Create a new content node with the title "<script>alert('node
    title');</script>"
  3. Click "Save configuration"
  4. Create malicious stylesheet at arbitrary URL (for this PoC the
    stylesheet is at http://192.168.0.2/style.css&#41;. Include the following:
    BODY {
    width:expression(alert("stylesheet xss"));
    }
  5. Click on Administer -> Site Configuration -> Printer, e-mail and PDF
    versions
  6. Select the 'Settings' link
  7. Fill in "http://192.168.0.2/style.css&#39; a='" for the "Stylesheet URL"
  8. Expand the "Footer options" input area
  9. Check the "User-specified" radio button
  10. Fill in "<script>alert('footer xss');</script>" for the
    "User-specified:" text input
  11. Click the "Save configuration" button
  12. Navigate to the homepage
  13. View the node created in step 3 above and click the
    "Printer-friendly version" link
  14. Observe three JavaScript alerts in IE, other browsers may only
    display the node title and footer XSS alerts.
  15. Return to the node view and click the "Send to friend" link. Fill
    in arbitrary values and click the "Send e-mail" button
  16. Observe the site name JavaScript alert
  17. Modify the PDF settings from Administer -> Site configuration ->
    Printer, e-mail and PDF versions.
  18. Fill in "dejavusans' <script>alert('font family');</script>" in the
    "Font Family:" text input.
  19. Click "Save configuration"
  20. View the node created in step 4 above, click the "PDF version" link
  21. Observe the JavaScript alert
  22. Note that this causes a white screen and TCPDF error
