Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Advanced Forum module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Certain unspecified input passed via the URL to the Forum module is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) A vulnerability is caused due to users being able to change their signature in a format that should not be accessible to them. If the administrator changed the comment style to a more powerful format, this can be exploited to e.g. conduct script insertion attacks and potentially inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
