* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-027 * Project: NewsFlash [1] (third-party theme) * Version: 6.x, 7.x * Date: 2014-March-05 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
Newsflash is a theme that features 7 color styles, 12 collapsible regions, suckerfish menus, fluid or fixed widths, built-in IE transparent PNG fix, and lots more.
The theme does not sanitize the user provided theme setting for the font family CSS property, thereby exposing a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer themes".
