  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2017-071
  * Project: H5P- Create and Share Rich Content and Applications [1]
    (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2017-August-30
  * Security risk: 18/25 ( Critical)
    AC:None/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The H5P module helps create interactive videos, question sets, drag and drop
questions, multichoice questions, boardgames, presentations, flashcards and
more using Drupal.

The module does not sufficiently filter text prior to printing it back to the
page, leading to a Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that many modern browsers contain
protection against some kinds of Reflected XSS vulnerabilities.


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

    accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED

  * If you use the H5P module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to H5P 7.x-1.32 [5]
