  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-071
  • Project: Flag (third-party module)
  • Version: 7.x
  • Date: 2013-August-28
  • Security risk: Moderately critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description

The Flag module allows creation of customizable flags on entities.

Flag does not properly sanitize the name of a flag on the main flag administration page, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts within a page, resulting in a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the 'Administer flags' permission.
