   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-040
   * Project: Skeleton [1] (third-party theme)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-April-09
   * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
   * Exploitable from: Remote
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Skeleton theme is a responsive Drupal theme, built upon the Skeleton
Boilerplate.

The Skeleton theme does not properly sanitize theme settings before they are
used in the output of a page.

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

-------- SOLUTION
