  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-004
  * Project: OpenLucius [1]     (third-party distribution)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2017-January-11
  * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
    AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery

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

OpenLucius is a work management platform for social communication,
documentation, and projects.

The distribution doesn't sufficiently use tokens when marking messages for
users as read thereby exposing a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
vulnerability.

The distribution  does not sufficiently filter taxonomy term names before
outputting them to HTML thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker
must have permissions to insert malicious taxonomy terms.


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

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

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

  * Openlucius 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.6.

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

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

  * If you use the Openlucius for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Openlucius 7.x-1.7
