Project: Taxonomy Term Reference Tree Widget [1]
Date: 2018-January-31
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 13∕25
AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description: 
This module provides an expandable tree widget for the Taxonomy Term
Reference field in Drupal 7.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the output of its own defined field
formatter.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission that allows to edit terms of a taxonomy where the module
handles its output.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Taxonomy Term Reference Tree Widget module for Drupal 7.x,
     upgrade to its 7.x-1.11 [3]
