Petition – Moderately Critical – Cross Site Scripting (XSS) – SA-CONTRIB-2015-081

Description

The Petition module enables you to create petitions which users may sign.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize user supplied text in some administration pages, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “create petition”.
