CVE Descriptions

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Sections module 5.x before 5.x-1.3 and 6.x before 6.x-1.3 for Drupal allows remote authenticated users with "administer sections" privileges to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a section name (aka the Name field).

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

The text of this announcment is also available at http://www.madirish.net/?article=440 Description of Vulnerability: - - - ----------------------------- Drupal (http://drupal.org) is a robust content management system (CMS) written in PHP and MySQL that provides extensibility through various third party modules. The Sections module (http://drupal.org/project/sections) "allows you to create sections within your site. Each section has an installed template, theme or style attached to it." The Sections module contains a cross site scripting vulnerability because it does not properly sanitize output of section names before display. Systems affected: - - - ----------------- Drupal 6.14 with Sections 6.x-1.2 was tested and shown to be vulnerable. Impact: - - - ------- XSS vulnerabilities may expose site administrative accounts to compromise which could lead to web server process compromise. Mitigating factors: - - - ------------------- The Sections module must be installed. To carry out a Sections based XSS proof of concept exploit below the attacker must have 'administer sections' permissions. Proof of Concept: - - --------------------- 1. Install Drupal 6.14 2. Install Sections 6.x-1.2 3. Enable the Sections module from Administer -> Site building -> Modules 4. Click Administer -> Site building -> Sections 5. Click the 'Add section' button 5. Enter "<script>alert('xss');</script>" in the 'Name' text area 6. Click the 'Add section' button to save the section and observe the rendered JavaScript 7. Click on the 'Sections' link in the navigation to observe the rendered JavaScript Technical details: - - ------------------------ The Sections module fails to sanitize the output of the section name before display. Applying the following patch fixes this vulnerability.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/37371/info The Sections module for Drupal is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible. To exploit this issue, the attacker must have 'administer sections' permissions. Versions prior to Sections 5.x-1.3 and 6.x-1.3 are vulnerable. The following example input is available: <script>alert('xss');</script>
