Project: Drupal core [1]
Date: 2018-April-18
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 12∕25
AC:Complex/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description: 
CKEditor, a third-party JavaScript library included in Drupal core, has fixed
a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability [3].  The vulnerability stemmed
from the fact that it was possible to execute XSS inside CKEditor when using
the image2 plugin (which Drupal 8 core also uses).

We would like to thank the CKEditor team for patching the vulnerability and
coordinating the fix and release process, and matching the Drupal core
security window.

Solution: 
   * If you are using Drupal 8, update to Drupal 8.5.2 [4] or Drupal 8.4.7 
[5].
   * The Drupal 7.x CKEditor contributed module [6] is not affected if you are
     running CKEditor module 7.x-1.18 and using CKEditor from the CDN, since 
it
     currently uses a version of the CKEditor library that is not vulnerable.
   * If you installed CKEditor in Drupal 7 using another method (for example
     with the WYSIWYG [7] module or the CKEditor module with CKEditor locally)
     and you’re using a version of CKEditor from 4.5.11 up to 4.9.1, update
     the third-party JavaScript library by downloading CKEditor 4.9.2 from
     CKEditor's site [8].
