- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-060
- Project: Scald (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2013-July-24
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module enables you to handle media assets (atoms) in Drupal with a Views-based library, drag and drop interface and manage content attribution/licensing/distribution.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter atom properties such as the atom title when outputting atoms, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to create atoms and the Scald Flash module or the resource management feature (in the MEE submodule) must be enabled.
