Petition - Moderately Critical - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) - SA-CONTRIB-2015-081

The Petition module enables you to create petitions which users may sign.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize user supplied text in some administration pages, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “create petition”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

• CVE-2015-4377

Versions affected

• Petition 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.3.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

• If you use the Petition module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Petition 6.x-1.3

Also see the Petition project page.
