By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-013
- Project: Node Notify (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2016-March-02
- Security risk: 18/25 ( Critical) AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery
Description
Node Notify is a lightweight module to allow subscription to comments on nodes for registered and anonymous users.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize some user provided content, leading to a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.
Additionally, some paths were not protected against CSRF. An attacker could cause another user to subscribe and unsubscribe notifications by getting the user's browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- Node Notify version prior to 7.x-1.2
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Node Notify module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version. If you use the Node Notify for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Node Notify 7.x-1.2
Also see the Node Notify project page.
