securi...@drupal.org
* Project: Smileys (third-party module)
* Versions: 5.x
* Date: 2010-April-07
* Security risk: Less Critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross-site Request Forgery
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
The Smileys module provides a text filter that substitutes emoticons with
images. The module is vulnerable to cross-site request forgeries (CSRF [1])
via the URL used to delete smileys. A user with "administer smileys"
permission could be tricked into visiting the smiley delete URL and
unwittingly remove smileys from the site.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------
* Smileys module for Drupal 5.x version prior to 5.x-1.2 [2].
*Note that Smileys version 6.x-1.0-alpha5 and earlier versions for Drupal 6.x
are also affected. However, the security team does not provide support for
alpha releases.* Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the
contributed Smileys module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version.
* If you use the Smileys module for Drupal 5.x-1.x upgrade to Smileys
5.x-1.2 [3]
See also the Smileys project page [4].
