   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-026
   * Project: Location Map [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2017-March-01
   * Security risk: 10/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Access bypass

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

This module enables you to display one simple location map via Google Maps.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user input in the configuration text
fields of the module (allows any tags and does not respect text format
configuration).

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer locationmap".


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

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

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

   * locationmap 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.4.

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

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

Install  locationmap-7.x-2.4 [5]

Also see the Location Map [6] project page.
