Project: Open ReadSpeaker [1]
Version: 8.x-1.x-dev
Date: 2020-June-10
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 13∕25
AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Cross site scripting

Description: 
This module enables you to add a configured ReadSpeaker button for
text-to-speech for your site visitors.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize block configuration causing a Cross
Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

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

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Open ReadSpeaker module for Drupal 8.x, upgrade to Open
    ReadSpeaker 8.x-1.5 [3]

Also see the Open ReadSpeaker [4] project page.
