---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drupal security advisory DRUPAL-SA-2005-007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2005-007 Project: Drupal core Date: 2005-11-30 Security risk: less critical Impact: normal Where: from remote Vulnerability: XSS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ----------- Ahmed Saad has brought to our attention a creative way to enter malicious HTML content. Upon further investigation we found that interpretation of broken HTML/SGML and various quirks in interpretation of correctly formed, but non-sensical attribute values by various browsers also allows entering malicious HTML content. These can lead to XSS attacks. XSS can lead to theft of accounts and services, user tracking, misinformation... Versions affected ----------------- Drupal 4.5.0, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.5.3, 4.5.4, 4.5.5 Drupal 4.6.0, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.6.3 Solution -------- - If you are running Drupal 4.5.x, then upgrade to Drupal 4.5.6. - If you are running Drupal 4.6.x, then upgrade to Drupal 4.6.4. Important notes --------------- We have developed a new XSS filtering system based on Ulf Harnhammar's kses library http://sourceforge.net/projects/kses/ . This filtering only happens for Filtered HTML content so if you are trusting a user to access the Full HTML input format then said user can enter malicious content, so please revise your input format settings. Filtered HTML now filters the style attribute unconditionally. And finally, filter writers can access this mechanism through the new filter_xss() function.
