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. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | drupal7 | 26.04 LTS resolute | Not in release | | 25.10 questing | Not in release | | 25.04 plucky | Not in release | | 24.10 oracular | Not in release | | 24.04 LTS noble | Not in release | | 23.10 mantic | Not in release | | 23.04 lunar | Not in release | | 22.10 kinetic | Not in release | | 22.04 LTS jammy | Not in release | | 21.10 impish | Not in release | | 21.04 hirsute | Not in release | | 20.10 groovy | Not in release | | 20.04 LTS focal | Not in release | | 19.10 eoan | Not in release | | 19.04 disco | Not in release | | 18.10 cosmic | Not in release | | 18.04 LTS bionic | Not in release | | 17.10 artful | Ignored end of life | | 16.04 LTS xenial | Vulnerable | | 14.04 LTS trusty | Vulnerable | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) ## Severity score breakdown CVSS version: CVSS v3.0 **Base score** 6.1 · Medium * Base metrics | Parameter | Value | | --- | --- | | Attack vector | Network | | Attack complexity | Low | | Privileges required | None | | User interaction | Required | | Scope | Changed | | Confidentiality impact | Low | | Integrity impact | Low | | Availability impact | None | * Scores | Parameter | Value | | --- | --- | | Base score | 6.1 · Medium | | Exploitability score | - | | Impact score | - | **Vector:** CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N ## References * [MITRE](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-6929) * [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-6929) * [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/bugs/cve/CVE-2017-6929) * [Debian](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-6929) ### Other references * *
