- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2013-February-27
- Security risk: Moderately critical

Description
Responsive Blog Theme is a light weight Drupal 7 theme with a modern look and feel.
The theme doesn't properly sanitize user-entered content in the social icon leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker would have to have the 'administer themes' permission.
