   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-120
   * Project: Inline Entity Form [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-June-17
   * Security risk: 7/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Inline Entity Form module provides a field widget for inline management
(creation, modification, removal) of referenced entities.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user supplied text, thereby exposing
a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with permission to create/edit fields.


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

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

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

   * Inline Entity Form 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.6.

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

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

Install the latest version:

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

Also see the Inline Entity Form [6] project page.
