- Project: Creative Theme (third-party theme)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2013-February-27
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
Creative Theme is a light weight Drupal 7 theme with a modern look and feel.
The theme doesn't properly sanitize user-entered content in the social icon leading to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker would have to have the 'administer themes' permission.

Versions affected
- Creative Theme 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Creative Theme, there is nothing you need to do.
