   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-103
   * Project: Passwordless [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-October-29
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module replaces the regular Drupal login form with a modification of the
password-request form, to give the possibility to log in without using a
password.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user-generated text entered in the
module's configuration form.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "configure passwordless settings".


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

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

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

   * Passwordless 7.x-1.x versions up to 7.x-1.8.

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

-------- SOLUTION

   * Upgrade to Passwordless 7.x-1.8 [5]
