Published Jan 14, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Stored cross-site scripting in Drupal Data 6.x-1.0-alpha14 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via table metadata. Administrative views render attacker-controlled table descriptions, field names, and labels without check_plain output encoding. An account permitted to create or edit Data tables can inject HTML that runs when another site user opens an affected administrative page, enabling session compromise.
