SA-CONTRIB-2013-015 - Manager Change for Organic Groups - Cross site scripting (XSS)

This module extends Organic Groups to allow the manager of a group to select a new manager for their group (ie if they want to leave the group).

The autocomplete field for selecting a new manager didn’t properly filter usernames.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that Drupal’s default registration validation prevents the creation of username that contain cross site scripting attacks. However, a contributed module may bypass that validation or alter the way usernames are loaded in a way that introduces an attack vector.

CVE identifier(s) issued

• CVE-2013-0317

Versions affected

• Manager Change for Organic Groups 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.1.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

• If you use the 2.x branch of the Manager Change for Organic Groups module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Manager Change for Organic Groups 7.x-2.1
