   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-053
   * Project: Entity API [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-February-25
   * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Entity API module extends the entity API of Drupal core in order to
provide a unified way to deal with entities and their properties.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize field labels when exposing them
through the Token API thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to administer fields 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
---------------------------------------------------

   * Entity API 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.6.

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

-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Entity API module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Entity API
     7.x-1.6 [5]

Also see the Entity API [6] project page.
