* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-095 * Project: Safeword [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2014-September-23 * Security risk: 7/25 ( Less Critical) AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2] * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The safeword module provides an automatically generated 'Machine Name' when text is entered into a human-readable field.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the field description that can be used as help text under the machine name editing field.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer taxonomy".

* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Safeword 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.9.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Safeword [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Safeword module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Safeword 7.x-1.10 [5]
