SA-CONTRIB-2012-038 - Views Language Switcher Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

CVE: CVE-2012-2064

The Views Language Switcher module enables you to provide natively-formatted links that act as Views exposed filters for i18n content being displayed by Views.
The module doesn’t sufficiently filter the path output when a user manually modifies the path and makes a new request.
This vulnerability can be exploited by anonymous users.

Versions affected

• Views Language Switcher 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Views Language Switcher module, there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

• If you use the Views Language Switcher module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Views Language Switcher 7.x-1.2
