- -------- DESCRIPTION
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Views Bulk operations allows registered procedures (called actions) to be
applied on a result set of Drupal nodes, returned by the Views module.
Through the Views Bulk Operations interface, it is possible to let users who
are not authorized to update specific nodes or classes of nodes, to still
apply actions that modify these nodes, thereby violating user permissions.

* Views Bulk Operations 6.x-1.x prior to 6.x-1.7

Operations module, there is nothing you need to do.
- -------- SOLUTION

* If you use Views Bulk Operations 5.x-1.x upgrade to Views Bulk Operations

=======================================================================
* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-030
* Project: Email Verification (third-party module)
* Version: 5.x, 6.x
* Date: 2009-May-20
* Security risk: High
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Information disclosure, Cross Site Scripting
- -------- DESCRIPTION
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Email Verification module tries to verify user email addresses by talking
to the appropriate SMTP host. It also allows the administrator to access a
list of not confirmed email addresses. In the Drupal 5 version, this list is
only protected by the "access content" permission, hence allowing a wide
range of users to access these addresses. In the Drupal 6 version this list
is properly protected. In both versions the username and email addresses are
not properly escaped allowing Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. To learn
more about Cross Site Scripting read this article [1].
- -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
- ---------------------------------------------------
* Email Verification 5.x-1.x prior to 5.x-2.1
* Email Verification 6.x-1.x prior to 6.x-1.2
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Email
Verification module, there is nothing you need to do.
- -------- SOLUTION
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use Email Verification 5.x-1.x upgrade to Email Verification
5.x-2.1 [2]
* If you use Email Verification 6.x-1.x upgrade to Email Verification
6.x-1.2 [3]
