Project: Google Tag [1]
Date: 2025-January-29
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 13 ∕ 25
AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Affected versions: <1.8.0 || >=2.0.0 <2.0.8
Description: 
This module enables you to integrate the site with the Google Tag Manager
(GTM) application.

The module doesn't have the "restrict access" flag on the "administer
google_tag_container" permission. A user with this permission can load a GTM
container that completely changes the page or inserts malicious JS, resulting
in a cross site scripting vulnerability.

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

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Google Tag module 8.x, upgrade to Google Tag 8.x-1.8 [3]
   * If you use the Google Tag module 2.0.x, upgrade to Google Tag 2.0.8 [4]
