By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-052
- Project: Printer, e-mail and PDF versions (Print) (third-party modules)
- Version: 5.x, 6.x
- Date: 2009-August-19
- Security risk: Less critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Printer, e-mail and PDF versions ("Print") module provides printer-friendly versions of content. The module doesn't properly escape a number of user-supplied variables before output. A user who has the permission to add content could attempt a cross site scripting (XSS) attack which may in some cases lead to the user gaining full administrative access.
Versions affected
- Print versions 6.x prior to 6.x-1.8
- Print versions 5.x prior to 5.x-4.8
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Print module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Print module on Drupal 6.x upgrade to 6.x-1.8
- If you use the Print module on Drupal 5.x upgrade to 5.x-4.8
See also the Print module project page.
