SA-CONTRIB-2014-083 - Rules Link - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

This module allows you to create links which trigger arbitrary functionality with the help of the Rules module.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize the question and description strings when confirmation forms are displayed for triggering Rules links.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “administer rules links”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

• CVE-2014-9740

Versions affected

• Rules Link 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1.
