* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-015
* Project: Manager Change for Organic Groups [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 7.x
* Date: 2013-February-13
* Security risk: Less critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
This module extends Organic Groups to allow the manager of a group to select
a new manager for their group (ie if they want to leave the group).
The autocomplete field for selecting a new manager didn't properly filter
usernames.
The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that Drupal's default registration
validation prevents the creation of username that contain cross site
scripting attacks. However, a contributed module may bypass that validation
or alter the way usernames are loaded in a way that introduces an attack
vector.
