View online: https://drupal.org/node/2231665

   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-034
   * Project: Custom Search [1] (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2014-April-02
   * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
   * Exploitable from: Remote
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Custom Search module alters the default search box to provide additional
search filtering options and control.

Custom Search contains a persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability
due to the fact that it fails to sanitize filter labels before display.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer custom search."


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

     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
