SA-CONTRIB-2015-035 – Ajax Timeline – Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Description

Ajax Timeline module enables you to display a vertical timeline of nodes based off a date field or created date of the configured nodes.

The module doesn’t sufficiently escape node titles when displaying the timeline, allowing a malicious user to inject code.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with permission to create or edit nodes of the type configured for the timeline.
