- Project: Safeword (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2014-September-23
- Security risk: 7/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The safeword module provides an automatically generated ‘Machine Name’ when text is entered into a human-readable field.
The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize the field description that can be used as help text under the machine name editing field.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “administer taxonomy”.
