- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module enables you to create a field attached to a entity which stores tabular data. The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the field help text when presented to a privileged user.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer content types" or "administer taxonomy".
