- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-155
- Project: ShareThis (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2012-October-10
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module enables integration with the ShareThis web service to allow social bookmarking amongst your users.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter JavaScript settings before outputting them.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer sharethis".
CVE: CVE-2012-5545
Versions affected

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