  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-055
  * Project: Menu Views [1]     (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2016-November-02
  * Security risk: 12/25 ( Moderately Critical)
    AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables users to create menu items that render views instead of
links. This is useful for creating "mega-menus".

The module doesn't sufficiently filter title and breadcrumb fields for
possible cross-site scripting.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer menu views".


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

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

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

  * Menu Views 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.4.

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Menu Views module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Menu Views
    7.x-2.4 [5]

Also see the Menu Views [6] project page.
