Discussion

Drupal Webform Module Cross Site Scripting and Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerabilities

The Webform module for Drupal is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and an arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Successful exploitation requires a user with permission to either 'create webform content' or 'administer nodes' and a role that can submit a webform that accepts file uploads.

Attackers can exploit these issues to steal cookie-based authentication information, execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the browser, upload and execute arbitrary files in the context of the webserver, and launch other attacks.

Webform versions 6.x-2.10, 6.x-3.9, and 7.x-3.9 are affected.
