- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2016-December-07

Description
The High-performance JavaScript callback handler module is a light weight callback to bypass most, if not all, of Drupal’s bootstrapping process to achieve improved performance.
The module does not sufficiently check whether or not a callback is being properly accessed or filtering for potential XSS or CSRF exploits.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- High-performance JavaScript callback handler (js) 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-2.1.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed High-performance JavaScript callback handler module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the js module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to js 7.x-2.1
Note: this upgrade is not backwards compatible with 7.x-1.x. Existing contrib and custom module implementations of this API will either need to be upgraded, replaced or removed.
