   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-102
   * Project: Smart Trim [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-April-29
   * Security risk: 5/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module implements a new field formatter for textfields (text, text_long,
and text_with_summary, if you want to get technical) that improves upon the
"Summary or Trimmed" formatter built into Drupal 7.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter user input via the field settings
form.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only administrative users
who can administer field types can exploit it.


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

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

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

   * Smart Trim  7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.5.

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

-------- SOLUTION

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the smart_trim module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to
     smart_trim-7.x-1.5 [5]
