   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-078
   * Project: Webform [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2015-March-18
   * Security risk: 11/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Webform is the module for making surveys, petitions, contests, personalized
contact forms, and the like in Drupal.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize component names when components are
used to determine the e-mail addresses that may be sent upon webform
submission.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with permission to create/update nodes with an attached webform and (in
7.x-4.x releases) have the permission "edit webform components".
