SA-CONTRIB-2012-012 - Quicktabs - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

CVE: CVE-2012-1637

The Quick Tabs module allows users to create blocks of tabbed content, specifying a title for the block and the individual tabs.
Quick Tabs does not do sufficient filtering of user supplied text which presents a cross site scripting vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a user account with a role permitted to create or edit a Quicktabs instance.

Versions affected

• Quicktabs 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.1.
• Quicktabs 6.x-3.x versions prior to 6.x-3.1.
• Quicktabs 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Quick Tabs module, there is nothing you need to do.
