* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-003 * Project: Autocomplete Deluxe [1] (third-party module) * Version: 7.x * Date: 2017-January-11 * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2] * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module creates a new widget for taxonomy fields based on JQuery UI autocomplete.

The module doesn't sufficiently escape the entered taxonomy terms thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the permission to edit a taxonomy field.

-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED --------------------------------------------

* /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------

* Autocomplete Deluxe 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.2.

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

-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

* If you use the autocomplete deluxe module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Autocomplete Deluxe 7.x-2.2 [5]

Also see the Autocomplete Deluxe [6] project page.
