   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-063
   * Project: High-performance JavaScript callback handler [1]     
(third-party
     module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2016-December-07
   * Security risk: 22/25 ( Highly Critical)
     AC:None/A:None/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Access bypass, Cross Site Request
     Forgery, Open Redirect, Multiple vulnerabilities

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

The High-performance JavaScript callback handler module is a light weight
callback to bypass most, if not all, of Drupal's bootstrapping process to
achieve improved performance.

The module does not sufficiently check whether or not a callback is being
properly accessed or filtering for potential XSS or CSRF exploits.


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

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

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

   * High-performance JavaScript callback handler (js) 7.x-1.x versions prior
     to 7.x-2.1.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed
High-performance JavaScript callback handler [4] module, there is nothing you
need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the js module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to js 7.x-2.1 [5]

*Note:* this upgrade is not backwards compatible with 7.x-1.x. Existing
contrib and custom module implementations of this API will either need to be
upgraded, replaced or removed.

Also see the High-performance JavaScript callback handler [6] project page.
