  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-061
  * Project: Views Send [1]     (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2016-November-09
  * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
    AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Views Send module enables you to send mail to multiple users from a View.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter potential user-supplied data when
previewing the e-mail which can lead to a Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "mass mailing with views_send".


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

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

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

  * Views Send 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.3.

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Views Send module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Views Send
    7.x-1.3 [5]

Also see the Views Send [6] project page.
