  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-074
  * Project: MediaFront [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x, 7.x
  * Date: 2013-September-11
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The MediaFront module provides a front-end media presentation layer for
Drupal

The module doesn't sufficiently filter user input from MediaFront preset
settings.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer mediafront" to exploit this bug.
