* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-097
* Project: Protest [1] (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x, 7.x
* Date: 2012-June-06
* Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
Protest allows websites to display a complete page blackout (website
protest).
The module contains a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability as it fails to
sanitize user input before display.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer protest".
