By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-107
- Project: Scheduler (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2014-November-12
- Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:None/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Scheduler module allows nodes to be published and unpublished on specified dates. The module allows administrators to provide additional help text on the content editing form when scheduling is enabled.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter the help text which could lead to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer scheduler".
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- Scheduler 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.10.
