Subject: [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2012-048 - Contact
	Save - Cross Site	Scripting

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-048
  * Project: Contact Save [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2012-March-28
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

This module stores in the database all messages submitted through the core
contact forms, and provides a way to respond to these messages through the
website.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter user supplied text, leading to a
cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with either the "access site-wide contact form".

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * Contact Save 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.5.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Contact Save
[3] module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION  
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Contact Save module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Contact Save
    6.x-1.5 [4].

Also see the Contact Save [5] project page.

-------- REPORTED BY

  * Stella Power [6] of the Drupal Security Team

-------- FIXED BY  
------------------------------------------------------------

  * Joel Stein [7] the module maintainer
