-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

Simple Clean is a simple and stripped clean theme for Drupal.

The theme contains a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be

with the permission "post comments".

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Simple Clean
[3] theme, there is nothing you need to do.

  * If you use the Simple Clean theme for Drupal 7.x upgrade to Simple Clean
    7.x-1.3 [4]
