   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-033
   * Project: Nivo Slider [1] (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-March-19
   * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
   * Exploitable from: Remote
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Nivo Slider provides a way to showcase featured content. Nivo Slider gives
administrators a simple method of adding slides to the slideshow, an
administration interface to configure slideshow settings, and simple slider
positioning using the Drupal block system.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the title of images in the slider.

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


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

     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
