Quick Edit – Moderately Critical – Cross Site Scripting (XSS) – SA-CONTRIB-2015-137

Description

This module enables you to in-place edit entities’ fields.

The module doesn’t sufficiently filter entity titles under the scenario where the user starts in-place editing an entity. The module also doesn’t sufficiently filter node titles under the scenario where a node is displayed (albeit only on pages that are not the node page, so e.g. Views listings).

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to create or edit node entities (e.g. page, article …).
