Synopsis

A PHP application running on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Drupal running on the remote web server is 7.x prior to 7.52 or 8.x prior to 8.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by the multiple vulnerabilities :

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the taxonomy module when using access query tags that are inconsistent with the standard system used by Drupal Core. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information regarding taxonomy terms. (CVE-2016-9449)

- A flaw exists in the password reset form due to a failure to properly specify a cache context. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to poison the cache, by adding, for example, unwanted content to the page. Note that this issue only affects version 8.x. (CVE-2016-9450)

- A cross-site redirection vulnerability exists in the confirmation form due to improper validation of input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted link, to redirect the user to a website of the attacker's choosing. Note that this issue only affects version 7.x. (CVE-2016-9451)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the transliterate mechanism when handling specially crafted URLs. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash. Note that this issue only affects version 8.x. (CVE-2016-9452)

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 Drupal version 7.52 / 8.2.3 or later.
