Project: Module Filter [1]
Version: 7.x-2.x-dev
Date: 2019-March-27
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 12∕25
AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Cross site scripting
Description:
This module enables you to filter the list of modules on the admin modules
page, and organizes packages into vertical tabs.
The module doesn't sufficiently escape HTML under the scenario leading to a
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have
access to input filtered html that will be included on the modules
administration page e.g. in a block (this configuration is not common).
Further, the Module Filter vertical tabs setting must be enabled.
Solution:
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Module Filter module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Module
Filter 7.x-2.2 [3]
Also see the Module Filter [4] project page.

Project: Simple hierarchical select [1]
Date: 2019-March-13
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 10∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Cross site request forgery
Description:
Simple hierarchical select defines a new form widget for taxonomy fields to
select a term by "browsing" through the vocabularies hierarchy. It also
allows users to create new taxonomy terms using its widget directly in the
node form.
Version 7.x of Simple hierarchical select doesn't sufficiently checks
permission when creating new terms so attackers can create arbitrary taxonomy
terms in any vocabularies the victim has access to..
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must trick a
user with permission to create terms to visit a specially prepared web page
controlled by the attacker.
Solution:
Install the latest version:
* If you use /Simple hierarchical select/ prior to 7.x-1.7 update to
7.x-1.8
[3]
* If you are unable to update, simply deactivate the option to allow
creating new terms in the widget settings.
Note that the Drupal 8 version of this module is unaffected.
