• Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-061
• Project: Views Send (third-party module)
• Version: 7.x
• Date: 2016-November-09
• Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
• Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

The Views Send module enables you to send mail to multiple users from a View.

The module doesn’t sufficiently filter potential user-supplied data when previewing the e-mail which can lead to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “mass mailing with views_send”.

• A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected
