Project: Image Field Caption [1]
Version: 8.x-1.1
Date: 2022-May-04
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 13∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description: 
Image Field Caption (image_field_caption) adds an extra text area for
captions on image fields.

The module doesn't sanitize user input in certain cases, which leads to a
Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

The vulnerability is mitigated by several permissions, of which at least some
are commonly only assigned to either editors, site builders or
administrators.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the image_field_caption module for Drupal 9.x, upgrade to
     image_field_caption 8.x-1.2 [3]
