   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-003
   * Project: Autocomplete Deluxe [1]     (third-party module)

   * Date: 2017-January-11
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]

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

This module creates a new widget for taxonomy fields based on JQuery UI
autocomplete.

The module doesn't sufficiently escape the entered taxonomy terms thereby
exposing a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is
mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the permission to edit a
taxonomy field.
