By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-124
- Project: Poll Chart Block (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2014-December-10
- Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module enables users to have a block displaying the result of the last poll as a chart.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize poll node titles when displaying the block.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to create polls and the poll chart block must be enabled.
CVE identifier(s) issued

Versions affected
- poll_chart 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.
