   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-073
   * Project: Trick Question [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2015-March-04
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Trick Question is a CAPTCHA-type spam prevention module; a lightweight,
compact and simple alternative to larger and more complex modules.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user supplied text in some pages,
thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the
"Administer Trick Question" permission.


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

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

---------------------------------------------------

   * Trick Question 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.5
   * Trick Question 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.5

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