Security advisories for multiple Drupal 8 contributed modules: Smart Trim, Modal Page, Taxonomy access fix, Permissions by Term

Project: Smart Trim
Version: 8.x-1.x
Date: 2019-December-11
Security risk: Moderately critical 
Vulnerability: Cross site scripting

Description

The Smart Trim module allows site builders additional control with text summary fields.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter text when certain options are selected.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the ability to create content on the site when certain options are selected for the trimmed output.

WordPress 5.3 with the improved block editor, named “Kirk” in honour of jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, has been released today and is available for download or update in your dashboard.

5.3 expands and refines the block editor with more intuitive interactions and improved accessibility. New features in the editor increase design freedoms, provide additional layout options and style variations to allow designers more control over the look of a site.

Open Social - Critical - Insecure Session Management - SA-CONTRIB-2019-075

Project: Open Social
Date: 2019-November-06
Security risk: Critical 15∕25
Vulnerability: Insecure Session Management

Description

Open Social is a Drupal distribution for online communities. The included social_magic_login module doesn't sufficiently validate magic login URLs for user accounts that do not have a local password, but login via external systems. The lack of validation makes it possible for an adversary to forge valid login URLs and login to such an account.

Project: Booking and Availability Management Tools for Drupal
Date: 2019-October-16
Security risk: Moderately critical 11∕25
Vulnerability: Access Bypass

Description

The Bat module provides a foundation through which a wide range of availability management, reservation and booking use cases can be addressed.

The routes used to view events don't sufficiently guard access for non-privileged users. Specifically, a user with the 'View own' permission for bat events can view others' events as well.
