Yandex.Metrics
Date: 
2017-October-18
Security risk: 
Moderately critical 13∕25 AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
Vulnerability: 
Cross site scripting
Description: 

The Yandex.Metrics module allows you to look for key indicators of your site effectiveness.

The module doesn't sufficiently let users know a setting page should not be given to untrusted users.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer Yandex.Metrics settings."

Edited October 19, 2017 to add a note about checking permissions.

Solution: 

Install the latest version:

  • If you use the Yandex.Metrics module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Yandex.Metrics 7.x-3.1 and also examine your site's permission configuration to ensure that only highly-trusted administrators have the "Administer Yandex.Metrics Settings" permission.

Also see the Yandex.Metrics project page.
