   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-072
   * Project: Clientside Validation [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2017-September-06
   * Security risk: 16/25 ( Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Arbitrary PHP code execution

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

The Clientside Validation module enables you to have clientside (Javascript)
validation on your forms.

The module does not sufficiently validate parameters of a POST request made
when validating a CAPTCHA.

For the 1.x version of this module, this vulnerability is mitigated by the
fact that the CAPTCHA module must be enabled and the 'validate captcha'
option of the Clientside Validation module must be enabled (this option is
enabled by default).

For the 2.x version of this module, this vulnerability is mitigated by the
fact that the CAPTCHA module must be enabled and the Clientside Validation
captcha submodule must be enabled.


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

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