TITLE:
Drupal Viewfield Module Script Insertion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34049

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34049/

DESCRIPTION:
Justin C. Klein Keane has discovered a vulnerability in the Viewfield
module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed via the "description" parameter in index.php (when "q"
is set to "admin/content/types/[TYPE NAME]/fields/[FIELD NAME]") is
not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to
insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a
user's browser session in the context of an affected site when the
malicious type is viewed.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires the "administer
content types" privilege.

This is related to:
SA33898

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.x-1.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
