   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-077
   * Project: TableField [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-August-13
   * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:25 [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables you to create a field attached to a entity which stores
tabular data. The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the field help text
when presented to a privileged user.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer content types" or "administer taxonomy".


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

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance
            with Drupal Security Team processes./

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------

   * TableField 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.3.
   * TableField versions for Drupal 6 are NOT affected.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed TableField [4]
module,
       there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the TableField module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to TableField
     7.x-2.3 [5]

Also see the TableField [6] project page.
