- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-012
- Project: Quick Tabs (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2012-January-18
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
CVE: CVE-2012-1637
The Quick Tabs module allows users to create blocks of tabbed content, specifying a title for the block and the individual tabs.
Quick Tabs does not do sufficient filtering of user supplied text which presents a cross site scripting vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a user account with a role permitted to create or edit a Quicktabs instance.

- Quicktabs 6.x-3.x versions prior to 6.x-3.1.
- Quicktabs 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.3.
