   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-143
   * Project: Zendesk Feedback Tab [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-September-02
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables you to easily integrate the Zendesk Support Tab on your
Drupal website.

The module allows Javascript code to be embedded via its administration
interface, allowing for the potential of cross-site scripting attacks. The
module did not properly indicate that site administrators should restrict
access to that permission to only trusted users.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the Configure Zendesk Feedback Tab permission.


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

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

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

   * Zendesk Feedback Tab 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1.

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

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the zendesk_feedbacktab module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to
     Zendesk Feedback Tab 7.x-1.1 [5]

Also see the Zendesk Feedback Tab [6] project page.
