- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-026
- Project: Location Map (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2017-March-01
- Security risk: 10/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:Basic/A:User/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Access bypass
Description
This module enables you to display one simple location map via Google Maps.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user input in the configuration text fields of the module (allows any tags and does not respect text format configuration).
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer locationmap".

Versions affected
