   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-156
   * Project: Colorbox [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-October-07
   * Security risk: 8/25 ( Less Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass

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

This module allows for integration of Colorbox, a jQuery lightbox plugin,
into Drupal.

The module allows unprivileged users to add unexpected content to a Colorbox,
including content from external sites. This allows an unprivileged user to
deface a site.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have
permission to post comments with a text format that allows links.


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

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

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

   * Colorbox 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.10.

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

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Colorbox module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Colorbox
     7.x-2.10 [5]
