Drupal Comment Module comment_form_add_preview() Function Arbitrary Code Execution

medium Nessus Plugin ID 24266

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Drupal running on the remote host fails to properly validate previews on comments, and allows access to more than one input filter, which is not enabled by default. An attacker can exploit this issue by previewing a comment to have it interpreted as PHP code, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Upgrade to Drupal version 4.7.6 / 5.1 or later.
