SA-CONTRIB-2012-063 - RealName - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

CVE: CVE-2012-2298

This module allows you to set a pattern for constructing “Real names” for users out of profile fields. The module does not sufficiently escape users’ real names under certain circumstances which could lead to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack.

Versions affected

• RealName 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.5.
• RealName 7.x-1.x versions are not vulnerable.

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

Solution

Install the latest version:

• If you use the RealName module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to RealName 6.x-1.5.

Also see the RealName project page.
