- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-001
- Project: Field Group (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2016-January-06
- Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
Field Group module enables you to group fields on entity forms and entity displays.
When adding a HTML element as group, the user has the option to add custom HTML attributes on the group. Via this option, a malicious user can embed scripts within the 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 vocabularies and terms.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
