Advisory ID: 
BACKDROP-SA-CONTRIB-2022-005
Security risk: 
Moderately Critical
Vulnerability: 
Cross Site Scripting
Versions affected: 
  • Navbar versions prior to 1.x-1.8.0

 

Description: 

This module provides a very simple, mobile-friendly navigation toolbar.

The module doesn't sufficiently check for user-provided input.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the ability to post content using a text format (like the default "Filtered HTML" format) that won't filter out the exploit code.

Solution: 

Upgrade your site to the most recent version of the navbar module. Download available on the Navbar 1.x-1.8.0 release page.
