* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-027 * Project: Submenu Tree [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2012-February-29 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------

The Submenu Tree module allows sufficiently privileged users to show a list of menu entries when displaying a node.

The module does not sanitize some of the user-supplied data before displaying it, leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS [3]) vulnerability.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that a malicious user must be assigned a role that includes permissions to edit the Drupal menus.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Submenu Tree [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
