Description

This module provides intuitive ways to manage large libraries of media, insert or display or import various types of media either through fields or a wysiwyg interface.

Versions of this module prior to 7.x-2.1 or 7.x-3.0-alpha5 did not sufficiently whitelist input parameters for the media browser.

This vulnerability in the versions of media prior to those aforementioned is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission upload files and view media browser.

Versions affected

  • Media 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.1.
  • Media 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.0-alpha4.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Media module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

  • If you use the media module, it is recommended to upgrade to media version 7.x-2.1 (stable) or to 7.x-3.0-alpha5 (cutting edge) or newer.
