By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-071
- Project: H5P- Create and Share Rich Content and Applications (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2017-August-30
- Security risk: 18/25 ( Critical) AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The H5P module helps create interactive videos, question sets, drag and drop questions, multichoice questions, boardgames, presentations, flashcards and more using Drupal.
The module does not sufficiently filter text prior to printing it back to the page, leading to a Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that many modern browsers contain protection against some kinds of Reflected XSS vulnerabilities.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- H5P 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.32.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed H5P- Create and Share Rich Content and Applications module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the H5P module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to H5P 7.x-1.32
Also see the H5P- Create and Share Rich Content and Applications project page.
