- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-025
- Project: TinyMCE (third-party module)
- Version: 5.x
- Date: 2010-March-09
- Security risk: Less Critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The TinyMCE module provides a "WYSIWYG" tool for entering rich text into various parts of a site. The TinyMCE module displayed text entered by an admin without filtering that text leading to a Cross Site Scription (XSS) vulnerability. XSS vulnerabilities may expose site administrative accounts which could lead to a variety of additional compromises. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the "administer tinymce" permission which should generally only be granted to trusted roles.
Versions affected
- TinyMCE prior to 5.x-1.10.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed TinyMCE module for Drupal 5, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use TinyMCE for Drupal 5.x upgrade to TinyMCE 5.x-1.11
