SA-CONTRIB-2015-053 – Entity API – Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Description

The Entity API module extends the entity API of Drupal core in order to provide a unified way to deal with entities and their properties.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize field labels when exposing them through the Token API thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to administer fields such as “administer taxonomy”.

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
    with Drupal Security Team processes.
