Drupal 8.4.x versions before 8.4.5 and Drupal 7.x versions before 7.57 has a Drupal.checkPlain() JavaScript function which is used to escape potentially dangerous text before outputting it to HTML (as JavaScript output does not typically go through Twig autoescaping). This function does not correctly handle all methods of injecting malicious HTML, leading to a cross-site scripting vulnerability under certain circumstances. The PHP functions which Drupal provides for HTML escaping are not affected.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Drupal 8.4.x versions before 8.4.5 and Drupal 7.x versions before 7.57 has a Drupal.checkPlain()
    JavaScript function which is used to escape potentially dangerous text before outputting it to HTML (as
    JavaScript output does not typically go through Twig autoescaping). This function does not correctly
    handle all methods of injecting malicious HTML, leading to a cross-site scripting vulnerability under
    certain circumstances. The PHP functions which Drupal provides for HTML escaping are not affected.

According to its self-reported version number, the detected Drupal application is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A flaw exists with the Comment Reply Form. An authenticated remote attacker could add or view comments that they do not have access to. (CVE-2017-6926)

- A flaw exists with the Drupal.checkPlain() function due to improper handling of HTML injection. A remote attacker, with a specially crafted request, could potentially execute arbitrary script code within the trust relationship between the browser and server. (CVE-2017-6927)

- A flaw exists with node access controls with a multilingual site due to defaulting to the untranslated version as a fallback. A remote attacker could potentially bypass access restrictions. (CVE-2017-6930)

- A flaw exists with the Settings Tray module. A remote attacker could update data the do not have permission for. (CVE-2017-6931)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version, the instance of Drupal running on the remote web server is 8.x prior to 8.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists with the Comment Reply Form. An authenticated remote     attacker could add or view comments that they do not have access     to. (CVE-2017-6926)

  - A flaw exists with the Drupal.checkPlain() function due to     improper handling of HTML injection. A remote attacker, with a     specially crafted request, could potentially execute arbitrary     script code within the trust relationship between the browser and     server. (CVE-2017-6927)

  - A flaw exists with node access controls with a multilingual site     due to defaulting to the untranslated version as a fallback. A     remote attacker could potentially bypass access restrictions.
    (CVE-2017-6930)

  - A flaw exists with the Settings Tray module. A remote attacker     could update data the do not have permission for. (CVE-2017-6931)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version, the instance of Drupal running on the remote web server is 7.x prior to 7.57. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists with the Drupal.checkPlain() function due to     improper handling of HTML injection. A remote attacker, with a     specially crafted request, could potentially execute arbitrary     script code within the trust relationship between the browser and     server. (CVE-2017-6927)

  - A flaw exists with the private file system due to improper checking     of permissions when modules provided conflicting access. A remote     attacker could potentially access sensitive files. (CVE-2017-6928)

  - A flaw exists with the bundled jQuery due to improper handling of     Ajax requests. A remote attacker, with a specially crafted request,     could potentially execute arbitrary script code within the trust     relationship between the browser and server. (CVE-2017-6929)

  - A flaw exists with the language switcher block due to improper     validation of user input. A context-dependent attacker, with a     specially crafted link, could redirect a user to a malicious site.
    (CVE-2017-6932)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
