Project: Obfuscate Email [1]
Date: 2023-August-30
Security risk: *Less critical* 5∕25
AC:Complex/A:User/CI:None/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Affected versions: <2.0.1
Description: 
This module enables you to hide email addresses from bots and site scrapers
by using the rot13 strategy.

The module doesn't sufficiently escape the data attribute under the scenario
a user has access to manipulate that value.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with permissions to allow data attributes in content on a site.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Obfuscate Email module for Drupal 2.0.0, upgrade to
     Obfuscate Email 2.0.1 [3]
