SA-CONTRIB-2010-034 - Internationalization - Cross Site Scripting
Security advisories for contributed projects Drupal 6.x
Drupal Security Team - April 7, 2010 - 22:01
* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-034
* Project: Internationalization (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x
* Date: 2010-April-7
* Security risk: Moderately critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Internationalization module enables translation of user defined strings
using Drupal's locale interface. Some of these user defined strings have Input
formats associated with them and some of the strings used for translating
blocks were not properly filtered before display.
Additionally all strings translated using this module were not checked for
potential malicious HTML and script code as regular Drupal string translations
are.
Both issues would allow a user with the 'translate interface' or the
'administer blocks' permissions to attempt a cross site scripting (XSS) attack
which may lead to the user gaining full administrative access.
Versions affected
* Internationalization 6.x prior to 6.x-1.4
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed
Internationalization module, there is nothing you need to do. Also if you are
not using Internationalization's 'String translation' (i18nstrings) module you
don't need to update.
Solution
Install the latest version:
* If you use Internationalization module for Drupal 6.x, update to
Internationalization 6.x-1.4 and run the Drupal database update.
See also the Internationalization project page
Reported by
* Antonio Ospite
Fixed by
* Jose Reyero, the module maintainer.

SA-CONTRIB-2010-035: Smileys - Cross Site Request Forgery
Security advisories for contributed projects Drupal 5.x
Drupal Security Team - April 7, 2010 - 22:04
* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2010-035
* Project: Smileys (third-party module)
* Versions: 5.x
* Date: 2010-April-07
* Security risk: Less Critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross-site Request Forgery
Description
The Smileys module provides a text filter that substitutes emoticons with
images. The module is vulnerable to cross-site request forgeries (CSRF) via the
URL used to delete smileys. A user with "administer smileys" permission could
be tricked into visiting the smiley delete URL and unwittingly remove smileys
from the site.
Versions affected
* Smileys module for Drupal 5.x version prior to 5.x-1.2.
Note that Smileys version 6.x-1.0-alpha5 and earlier versions for Drupal 6.x
are also affected. However, the security team does not provide support for
alpha releases.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Smileys module,
there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version.
* If you use the Smileys module for Drupal 5.x-1.x upgrade to Smileys
5.x-1.2
See also the Smileys project page.
