* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-071 * Project: Flag [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2013-August-28 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Flag module allows creation of customizable flags on entities.
Flag does not properly sanitize the name of a flag on the main flag administration page, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts within a page, resulting in a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the 'Administer flags' permission.

* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Flag 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.0.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Flag [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Flag module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Flag 7.x-3.1 [5]
