A jQuery cross site scripting vulnerability is present when making Ajax requests to untrusted domains. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it requires contributed or custom modules in order to exploit. For Drupal 8, this vulnerability was already fixed in Drupal 8.4.0 in the Drupal core upgrade to jQuery 3. For Drupal 7, it is fixed in the current release (Drupal 7.57) for jQuery 1.4.4 (the version that ships with Drupal 7 core) as well as for other newer versions of jQuery that might be used on the site, for example using the jQuery Update module.

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

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the Drupal content management framework. For additional information, please refer to the upstream advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2018-001.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 7.14-2+deb7u17.

We recommend that you upgrade your drupal7 packages.
