Description Laura Pardo 2018-02-22 23:43:47 UTC
A flaw was found in Drupal 7 and Drupal 8. Drupal has a Drupal.checkPlain() JavaScript function which is used to escape potentially dangerous text before outputting it to HTML (as JavaScript output does not typically go through Twig autoescaping). This function does not correctly handle all methods of injecting malicious HTML, leading to a cross-site scripting vulnerability under certain circumstances.
