Project: bootstrap_carousel [1]
Version: 7.x-1.x-dev
Date: 2017-November-29
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description: 
This module provides a way to make carousels, based on bootstrap-carousel.js.

The module doesn't sufficiently handle output of img HTML tag's alt property.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "Carousel: Create new content" or any similar node module
permissions for creating/editing/removing the module-delivered content type.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the bootstrap_carousel module for Drupal 7, upgrade to
     bootstrap_carousel 7.x-1.2 [3]
