- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-089
- Project: Geofield Yandex Maps (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2014-September-17
- Security risk: 5/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Geofield Yandex Maps module provides a Geofield widget, Geofield formatter, Views handler, Form element and Text filter to allow Yandex maps to be added to a site.
The module does not sufficiently filter user-supplied text, resulting in a persistent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker would need permission to create nodes or entities using the Geofield widget.
