Views Send – Moderately Critical – Cross Site Scripting (XSS) – SA-CONTRIB-2016-061

Description

The Views Send module enables you to send mail to multiple users from a View.

The module doesn’t sufficiently filter potential user-supplied data when previewing the e-mail which can lead to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “mass mailing with views_send”.
