Critical XSS Vulnerability on Search API Pages in Drupal 7

Staff Reporter

The Drupal security team has posted CRITICAL cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability on Search API pages (SA-CONTRIB-2021-046), dated December 8th, 2021. The Search API pages module enables you to create simple search pages based on Search API without the use of Views. The module doesn’t sufficiently escape all variables provided for custom templates.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the default template provided by the module is not affected.

Solution

Install the latest version: If you use the Search API Pages module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Search API Pages 7.x-1.6.
