Project: NVP field [1]
Date: 2018-October-10
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description: 
NVP field module allows you to create a field type of name/value pairs, with
custom
titles and easily editable rendering with customizable HTML/text surrounding
the pairs.

The module doesn't sufficiently handle sanitization of its field formatter's
output.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission of creating/editing content where the module defined
fields are in use.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the NVP field module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to NVP field
     7.x-1.1 [3]

Also see the NVP field [4] project page.
