   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-090
   * Project: Speech recognition [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-September-17
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:None/A:User/CI:None/II:Some/E:Proof/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery, Multiple
     vulnerabilities

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

This module enables you to add speech recognition to forms, allowing site
admins to enable experimental Speech Input API features on form inputs
through the user interface.

.... Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

The module incorrectly prints fields without proper sanitization thereby
opening a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

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

.... Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

The module enables in-place configuration of form options via AJAX requests,
but it doesn't sufficiently check the source of those requests, making
possible for an attacker to cause a user to unknowingly make changes to the
field configurations.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacked administrator
must have a role with the permission "administer speech".
