* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-073 * Project: Date [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2014-July-30 * Security risk: Moderately Critical [2] * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
Date module provides flexible date/time field type Date field and a Date API that other modules can use.
The module incorrectly prints date field titles without proper sanitization thereby opening a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a permission to create Date fields, such as "administer taxonomy" to add date fields on taxonomy terms.
