Project: GDPR Alert [1]
Version: 1.0.0
Date: 2023-June-28
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 11∕25
AC:Basic/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Affected versions: >=1.0 <1.0.1
Description: 
This module enables you to define configurable GDPR alert messages.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter user-supplied text leading to a Cross
Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker needs additional
permissions. The vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker with a role
with the permission "administer gdpr alert" regardless of other
configurations.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

  * If you use the GDPR alert module 1.0.0, upgrade to GDPR alert 1.0.1 [3]
