  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-030
  * Project: XML Sitemap [1]     (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2016-May-25
  * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
    AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The XML Sitemap module enables you to create sitemaps which help search
engines to more intelligently crawl a website and keep their results up to
date.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter the URL when it is displayed in the
sitemap.

This vulnerability is mitigated if the setting for "Include a stylesheet in
the sitemaps for humans." on the module's administration settings page is not
enabled (the default is enabled).


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

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

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

  * XML Sitemap 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.3.

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the XML Sitemap module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to XML Sitemap
    7.x-2.3 [5]

Also see the XML Sitemap [6] project page.
