* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2013-071
* Project: Flag [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 7.x
* Date: 2013-August-28
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
The Flag module allows creation of customizable flags on entities.
Flag does not properly sanitize the name of a flag on the main flag
administration page, allowing a malicious user to embed scripts within a
page, resulting in a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the
'Administer flags' permission.

accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

-------- SOLUTION
