- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-122
- Project: Better Revisions (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2012-August-08
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Better Revisions module changes the built-in revision log text area to a customizable select list with an optional description field. It also allows an administrator to make the list and/or description field required.
The module doesn't sufficiently validate strings entered in the administration interface.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer better revisions".
CVE: Requested
