  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-128
  * Project: Elegant Theme [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2012-August-15
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Elegant Theme is a light weight Drupal 7 theme with a modern look and feel.

The theme doesn't properly sanitize user-entered content in the 3 slide
gallery on the homepage leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker would have to
have the 'administer themes' permission.

  * Elegant Theme 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.0.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Elegant Theme
[3] module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

  * If you use the Elegant Theme for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Elegant Theme
    7.x-1.1 [4]
