Drupal Google Site Search Module API Data Handling XSS
medium Nessus Plugin ID 70920
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Description
The remote web server hosts a version of the Google Site Search module for Drupal that is version 6.x prior to 6.x-1.4 or 7.x prior to 7.x-1.10. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize API data before returning it to a user. This allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker, via a specially crafted request to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to Google Site Search version 6.x-1.4 / 7.x-1.10 or later.See Also
