- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-065
- Project: Custom Meta (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2014-June-18
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The module allows you to define and manage custom meta tags.
The module does not sufficiently sanitize user input before displaying the attribute and content values for meta tags on the administration page.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have access to an account with the permission "administer custom meta settings".

Versions affected
- Custom Meta 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Custom Meta module, there is nothing you need to do.
