   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-031
   * Project: GD Infinite Scroll [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-January-28
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery, Multiple
     vulnerabilities

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

GD Infinite Scroll module enables you to use the "infinite scroll jQuery
plugin : auto-pager" on custom pages.

Some links were not protected against CSRF. A malicious user could cause
another user with the "edit gd infinite scroll settings" permission to delete
settings by getting his browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.

Also, the module fails to sanitize user input in its admin page, leading to a
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by
the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "edit gd
infinite scroll settings".


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

     accordance
            with Drupal Security Team processes./
