  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-053
  * Project: Search 404 [1]     (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2017-June-21
  * 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 Search 404 module enables you to redirect 404 pages to a search page on
the site for the keywords in the url that was not found.

The module did not filter administrator-provided text before displaying it to
the user on the 404 page creating a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

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


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

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

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

  * Search 404 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-1.5.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Search 404 [4]
module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Search 404 module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Search 404
    7.x-1.5 [5]
