False Drupal XSS alarm on BugTraq

Someone under the pseudonym "Liz0ziM" sent a false security alarm to BugTraq without first contacting the security team:

http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/420671/30/0/threaded

This vulnerability is fixed in Drupal 4.5.6, 4.6.4 and onwards. Drupal's new XSS filter mechanism takes care of all vulnerabilities listed on http://ha.ckers.org/xss.html (and even more).

If you have already updated to at least 4.5.6 / 4.6.4 then you are safe and you do not need to take any action. If you have not updated yet, then we advise you again to do so ASAP.

About Drupal Sun

Drupal Sun is an Evolving Web project. It allows you to:

  • Do full-text search on all the articles in Drupal Planet (thanks to Apache Solr)
  • Facet based on tags, author, or feed
  • Flip through articles quickly (with j/k or arrow keys) to find what you're interested in
  • View the entire article text inline, or in the context of the site where it was created
