- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-033
- Project: iWebkit (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2011-August-03
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
iWebKit is a web toolkit designed to create iPhone and iPod touch compatible websites and webapps.
iWebkit does not properly sanitize menu links when displayed, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts in menu items, thus creating a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that may lead to an unauthorized user gaining full administrative access.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the "administer menu" permission.
Versions affected
- iWebkit theme 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed iWebkit theme, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the iWebkit theme for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to iWebkit 6.x-2.2.
