   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-083
   * Project: Rules Link [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-August-27
   * Security risk: 9/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:None/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:25 [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module allows you to create links which trigger arbitrary functionality
with the help of the Rules module.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the question and description strings
when confirmation forms are displayed for triggering Rules links.

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


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

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

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

   * Rules Link 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1.

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

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Rules Link module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Rules Link
     7.x-1.1 [5]

Also see the Rules Link [6] project page.
