As you may know, Drupal 6 has reached End-of-Life (EOL) which means the Drupal Security Team is no longer doing Security Advisories or working on security patches for Drupal 6 core or contrib modules - but the Drupal 6 LTS vendors are and we're one of them!

Today, there is a Moderately Critical security release for the Search Autocomplete module to fix a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This Search Autocomplete module enables you to autocomplete textfield using data from your website.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter user-entered text among the autocompletion items leading to an XSS vulnerability.

See the security advisory for Drupal 7 for more information.

Here you can download the Drupal 6 patch.

Note: We only support the 6.x-2.x branch (we don't have any customers on the 6.x-4.x branch), so that's the only one we're going to do.

If you have a Drupal 6 site using the Search Autocomplete module, we recommend you update immediately! We have already deployed the patch for all of our Drupal 6 Long-Term Support clients. :-)

If you'd like all your Drupal 6 modules to receive security updates and have the fixes deployed the same day they're released, please check out our D6LTS plans.

Note: if you use the myDropWizard module (totally free!), you'll be alerted to these and any future security updates, and will be able to use drush to install them (even though they won't necessarily have a release on Drupal.org).

Today, there is a Critical security release for the Lightbox2  module to fix a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

The Lightbox2 module enables you to overlay images on the current page.

The module did not sanitize some inputs when used in combination with a custom View leading to potential XSS.

See the security advisory for Drupal 7 for more information.

Today, there is a Critical security release for the Print module to fix a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability.

The Print module provides printer-friendly versions of content, including send by e-mail and PDF versions.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the arguments passed to the wkhtmltopdf executable, or HTML passed to dompdf or other PDF generation tools.

See the security advisory for Drupal 7 for more information.

NOTE: This vulnerability has a lower risk in Drupal 6 than in Drupal 7 (where it's Highly Critical). This is because you can't pass shell commands to execute using the HTTP basic auth user/pass, like you can in Drupal 7.

Here you can download the Drupal 6 patch.

Back in May, we announced that we'd be working on getting Drupal 6 core, and the contrib modules used by our D6LTS customers, working on PHP 7.2 before the end of the year.

This is largely because PHP 5 will be reaching it's End of Life (EOL) on December 31st, and will no longer be supported by the PHP maintainers, which means no more security updates.

How can we help keep your Drupal 6 site secure, if PHP itself is insecure?

Well, that deadline is coming up fast, and in fact, may be coming sooner than December for folks hosted with certain hosting companies!

Acquia just announced that they'll automatically switch all sites hosted on Acquia Cloud to PHP 7.1 on October 1st, less than a month away from now.

Inspired by this (read: some of our customers are hosted on Acquia ;-)) we're going to make a push to get a handful of brave D6LTS customers switched to PHP 7.1 or 7.2 by the end of September.

After proving this out with a handful of sites in September, we'll continue to roll that out to the rest of our customers in October, November and December.

Interested in getting involved? Wondering how much of this will be shared with the community?
