  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-052
  * Project: Elysia Cron [1]     (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2016-October-12
  * Security risk: 11/25 ( Moderately Critical)
    AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables you to manage cron jobs.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the cron rules which are entered
into "Predefined rules" field thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "Administer elysia cron".

    accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

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

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

Install the latest version:

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