CMS Updater - Moderately Critical - Multiple vulnerabilities - SA-CONTRIB-2015-150

CMS Updater allows to update Drupal core automatically with a subscription service.

Access bypass
The module does not sufficiently protect the settings page allowing any user with the permission “access administration pages” to change settings.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the “access administration pages” permission on the site.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
The module does not sanitize user provided text on the configuration page thereby exposing a cross site scripting vulnerability.

There are no mitigating factors for the cross site scripting.

CVE identifier(s) issued

• Access bypass: CVE-2015-7306 * Cross Site Scripting:CVE-2015-7307

Versions affected

• CMS Updater 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3.
