* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-060
* Project: Scald [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x, 7.x
* Date: 2013-July-24
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
This module enables you to handle media assets (atoms) in Drupal with a
Views-based library, drag and drop interface and manage content
attribution/licensing/distribution.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter atom properties such as the atom title
when outputting atoms, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to create atoms and the Scald Flash module or the
resource management feature (in the MEE submodule) must be enabled.
-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
