   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-080
   * Project: Profile2 Privacy [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-March-18
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Profile2 Privacy module enables you to show or hide parts of a profile2
entity based on pre-configured field sets with a title and description.

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

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "Administer Profile2 Privacy Levels".


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

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

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

   * Profile2 Privacy 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.5.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Profile2
Privacy [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Profile2 Privacy module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to 
Profile2
     Privacy 7.x-1.5 [5]

Also see the Profile2 Privacy [6] project page.
