Project: Yandex.Metrics [1]
Version: 7.x-3.x-dev7.x-2.x-dev7.x-1.x-dev
Date: 2017-October-18
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 13∕25
AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross site scripting

Description: 
The Yandex.Metrics module allows you to look for key indicators of your site
effectiveness.

The module doesn't sufficiently let users know a setting page should not be
given to untrusted users.

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


Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Yandex.Metrics module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to its
     7.x-3.1 [3]

Also see the Yandex.Metrics [4] project page.
