   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-001
   * Project: Field Group [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2016-January-06
   * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Field Group module enables you to group fields on entity forms and entity
displays.

When adding a HTML element as group, the user has the option to add custom
HTML attributes on the group. Via this option, a malicious user can embed
scripts within the page, resulting in a Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker has to be able
to configure field display settings, which usually needs a higher level
permission such as /Administer vocabularies and terms/.


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

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

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

   * Field Group 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.5.

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

-------- SOLUTION
