   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-046
   * Project: Context Form Alteration [1] (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-April-30
   * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
   * Exploitable from: Remote
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Context Form Alteration module enables admins to alter forms via Context
reactions.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user input entered within the
Context configuration UI.

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

-------- SOLUTION
