   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-065
   * Project: Custom Meta [1] (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2014-June-18
   * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
   * Exploitable from: Remote
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The module allows you to define and manage custom meta tags.

The module does not sufficiently sanitize user input before displaying the
attribute and content values for meta tags on the administration page.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have access
to an account with the permission "administer custom meta settings".


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

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

   * Custom Meta 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

[4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
