Project: Matomo Analytics [1]
Date: 2023-August-02
Security risk: *Less critical* 8∕25
AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Affected versions: <1.22.0
Description: 
This module enables you to add the Matomo web statistics tracking system to
your website.

The module does not check the Matomo JS code loaded on the website. So a user
could configure the module to load JS from a malicious website.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer matomo" or "administer matomo tag manager"
(D8+ only) to access the settings forms where this can be configured.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Matomo Analytics module for Drupal 7, upgrade to Matomo
     Analytics 7.x-2.15 [3]
   * If you use the Matomo Analytics module for Drupal 8, upgrade to Matomo
     Analytics 8.x-1.22 [4]

Sites are encouraged to review which roles have that permission and which
users have that role, to ensure that only trusted users have that permission.
