- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-127
- Project: Custom Publishing Options (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-August-15
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Custom Publishing Options module allows you to create custom publishing options for nodes. It allows you to add to the default options of Publish, Promote to Front Page, and Sticky. It also ingrates with views to allow you add as a field, sort and filter by, your custom options.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize status labels containing HTML.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer nodes".
