Project: GOV.UK Theme [1] Date: 2022-February-23 Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14∕25 AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2] Vulnerability: Cross site scripting
Description: The GOV.UK Theme (govuk_theme) is a Drupal theme for the GOV.UK Design System.
The theme doesn't sanitize user input in certain cases, which leads to Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. An attacker that can create or edit certain entities or configuration may be able to exploit one or more Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities to target visitors of the site, including site admins with privileged access.
The vulnerability is mitigated by the facts, that:
* An attacker must have one of several permissions, of which at least some are commonly only assigned to either editors, site builders or administrators. * For some of the vulnerabilities, certain contributed modules must be enabled.
Solution: Install the latest version:
* If you use the govuk_theme for Drupal 9.x, upgrade to govuk_theme 8.x-1.9 [3]
