   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-071
   * Project: Simple subscription [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2015-March-04
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables you to add a block to allow visitors to subscribe to a
site's newsletter.

The module failed to sanitize some block content, 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 "administer blocks".
