MailChimp – Moderately Critical – Cross Site Scripting (XSS) – SA-CONTRIB-2015-101

Description

The MailChimp module allows you to create and manage mailing lists via MailChimp’s API.

The MailChimp Signup submodule does not properly sanitize some user input, 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 must have a role with the “administer mailchimp” permission and the “MailChimp Signup” submodule must be enabled.

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
