   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-089
   * Project: Geofield Yandex Maps [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-September-17
   * Security risk: 5/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Geofield Yandex Maps module provides a Geofield widget, Geofield
formatter, Views handler, Form element and Text filter to allow Yandex maps
to be added to a site.

The module does not sufficiently filter user-supplied text, resulting in a
persistent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker would need
permission to create nodes or entities using the Geofield widget.


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