By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-061
- Project: Views Send (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2016-November-09
- Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Views Send module enables you to send mail to multiple users from a View.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter potential user-supplied data when previewing the e-mail which can lead to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "mass mailing with views_send".
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- Views Send 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Views Send module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Views Send module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Views Send 7.x-1.3
Also see the Views Send project page.
