   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-074
   * Project: Site Documentation [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x
   * Date: 2015-March-11
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Site Documentation module enables you to display detailed configuration
information.

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

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a user
with permission to create/edit taxonomy terms.


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

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

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------

   * Site Documentation 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.5.

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

-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Site Documentation module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Site
     Documentation 6.x-1.5 [5]

Also see the Site Documentation [6] project page.
