   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-107
   * Project: Scheduler [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2014-November-12
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:None/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Scheduler module allows nodes to be published and unpublished on
specified dates. The module allows administrators to provide additional help
text on the content editing form when scheduling is enabled.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter the help text which could lead to a
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack.

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


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

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

---------------------------------------------------

   * Scheduler 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.10.
   * Scheduler 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3.

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