- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-009
- Project: Linkit (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-January-07
- Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
Linkit provides an easy interface for internal and external linking with wysiwyg editors and fields by using an autocomplete field.
The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize node titles in the result list if the node search plugin is enabled.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to add or edit any type of node and that the linkit node search plugin is enabled.
