   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-137
   * Project: Quick Edit [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-August-05
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Multiple vulnerabilities

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

This module enables you to in-place edit entities' fields.
The module doesn't sufficiently filter entity titles under the scenario where
the user starts in-place editing an entity. The module also doesn't
sufficiently filter node titles under the scenario where a node is displayed
(albeit only on pages that are not the node page, so e.g. Views listings).
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to create or edit node entities (e.g. page, article …).
