- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-102
- Project: Smart Trim (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-April-29
- Security risk: 5/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module implements a new field formatter for textfields (text, text_long, and text_with_summary, if you want to get technical) that improves upon the “Summary or Trimmed” formatter built into Drupal 7.
The module doesn’t sufficiently filter user input via the field settings form.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only administrative users who can administer field types can exploit it.
