   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-013
   * Project: Node Notify [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2016-March-02
   * Security risk: 18/25 ( Critical)
     AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery

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

Node Notify is a lightweight module to allow subscription to comments on
nodes for registered and anonymous users.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize some user provided content, leading
to a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

Additionally, some paths were not protected against CSRF. An attacker could
cause another user to subscribe and unsubscribe notifications by getting the
user's browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.


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

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

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

   * All versions of Node Notify module.

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

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

If you use the Node Notify module for Drupal 7.x you should uninstall it.

Also see the Node Notify [5] project page.
