Description of Vulnerability:
- -----------------------------
Drupal (http://drupal.org) is a robust content management system (CMS)
written in PHP and MySQL. The Drupal Better Formats module
(http://drupal.org/project/better_formats) contains a cross site
scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to the fact that it fails to sanitize
format names before display.
Systems affected:
- -----------------
Drupal 6.16 with Better Formats 6.x-1.2 was tested and shown to be
vulnerable
Impact
- ------
User could inject arbitrary scripts into pages affecting site users.
This could result in administrative account compromise leading to web
server process compromise.
Mitigating factors:
- -------------------
In order to execute arbitrary script injection malicious users must have
'Administer filters' permission. The Drupal security team has
classified vulnerabilities that require this permission
(http://drupal.org/node/475848) as "display bugs" because access to this
permission allows for alteration of input specifications that could
allow users with permissions to create content to craft arbitrary PHP.
However, in a situation where a user had "administer filters" permission
but could not create content this vulnerability could be used to attack
other Drupal users.
Patch:
- ------------------------------------------
Applying the following patch mitigates this issue in version 6.x-1.2.
