   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-079
   * Project: RedHen CRM [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2013-August-20
   * Security risk: 7/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:100 [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The RedHen CRM project contains the redhen_dedup module which enables you to
find duplicate contacts in the CRM.

The redhen_dedup module doesn't sufficiently filter administrator-entered
text when deduping contacts as which creates a Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker needs the
permission "administer redhen contacts".


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

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

   * RedHen CRM 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.8.
