  • Date: 2014-February-12
  • Security risk: Moderately critical

Description

The Webform Validation module enables you to add additional form validation rules to Webforms created by the Webform module.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter component name text before display, opening up the possibility of cross site scripting.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to edit Webform content.
