Description
Profile2 Privacy module enables you to show or hide parts of a profile2 entity based on pre-configured field sets with a title and description.
The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize user supplied text in some pages, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “Administer Profile2 Privacy Levels”.
