- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-034
- Project: Custom Search (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2014-April-02
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Custom Search module alters the default search box to provide additional search filtering options and control.
Custom Search contains a persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to the fact that it fails to sanitize filter labels before display.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer custom search."
