Project: Data Visualisation Framework [1]
Date: 2023-December-20
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Affected versions: < 2.0.2
Description: 
This module allows you to turn various data sources (Eg CSV or JSON file)
into interactive visualisation. The DVF module provides a field (storage,
widget & formatter) that can be added to any entity.

This module uses two third-party JS libraries having from low to medium
vulnerabilities. One of the vulnerabilities is a Cross Site Scripting
vulnerability that may affect Drupal sites as a Persistent Cross Site
Scripting vulnerability (i.e. not reflected). This release updates the
libraries.

The issue is mitigated by the fact an attacker needs the permission to create
or edit content that is displayed using the Data Visualization Framework.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Data Visualisation Framework for Drupal module (DVF for
     short), upgrade to dvf 2.0.2 [3]
