Project: Select (or other) [1]
Date: 2018-July-25
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 enables users to select 'other' on certain form elements and a
textfield appears for the user to provide a custom value.

The module doesn't sufficiently escape values of a text field the under the
scenario when "Select or other" formatter is used.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have access
to edit a field that is displayed through the "Select or other" formatter.

Solution: 
   * If you use the "Select or other" 7.x-2.x, upgrade to Select or other
     7.x-2.24 [3]
   * If you use the "Select or other" 7.x-3.x, upgrade to Select or other
     7.x-3.0-alpha3 [4]
