By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-137
- Project: Quick Edit (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2015-August-05
- Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Multiple vulnerabilities
Description
This module enables you to in-place edit entities' fields.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter entity titles under the scenario where the user starts in-place editing an entity. The module also doesn't sufficiently filter node titles under the scenario where a node is displayed (albeit only on pages that are not the node page, so e.g. Views listings).
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission to create or edit node entities (e.g. page, article …).
CVE identifier(s) issued
- CVE-2015-6753
Versions affected
