Security risk: *Moderately critical* 13∕25
AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description: 
The Consent Popup provides a configurable popup that requires acceptance of a
question before the visitor can continue, typically used for age consent.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitizes the text on the block leading to a
cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to create blocks.

   * Upgrade to Consent Popup 1.0.3 [3]
