   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-002
   * Project: Course [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2015-January-07
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Course module enables you to create e-learning courses with any number of
requirements for completion.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter node title displays when being used in
a course.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to create course content.

-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance
            with Drupal Security Team processes./

   * Course 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.4
   * Course 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Course [4]
module,
       there is nothing you need to do.
