- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-095
- Project: Display Suite (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-April-15
- Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
Display Suite allows you to take full control over how your content is displayed using a drag and drop interface.
In certain situations, Display Suite does not properly sanitize some of the output, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts within a page, resulting in a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker has to be able to configure field display settings, which usually needs a higher level permission such as administer taxonomy.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- Display Suite version 7.x-2.7. Versions prior to Display Suite 7.x-2.7 are not vulnerable.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Display Suite module,
there is nothing you need to do.
