Drupal 7.x < 7.41 Overlay Module Open Redirect

medium Nessus Plugin ID 86673

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is running a PHP application that is affected by an open redirect vulnerability.

Description

The remote web server is running a version of Drupal that is 7.x prior to 7.41. It is, therefore, affected by an open redirect vulnerability in the Overlay module due to improper validation of URLs before displaying their contents. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted URL, to redirect a victim from an intended legitimate website to an arbitrary website.

This vulnerability can only be exploited against Drupal users who have both the 'Access the administrative overlay' permission and the Overlay module enabled.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Drupal version 7.41 or later.
