   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-05
   * Project: Display Suite [1] (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-April-15
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Display Suite allows you to take full control over how your content is
displayed using a drag and drop interface.

In certain situations, Display Suite does not properly sanitize some of the
output, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts within a page, resulting
in a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker has to be able
to configure field display settings, which usually needs a higher level
permission such as administer taxonomy.


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

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

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------

   * Display Suite version 7.x-2.7. Versions prior to Display Suite 7.x-2.7 
are
     not vulnerable.

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

-------- SOLUTION

   * If you use the Display Suite module for Drupal 7.x-2.7, upgrade to 
Display
     Suite 7.x-2.8 [5]
