scroll to top - Moderately critical - Cross site scripting - SA-CONTRIB-2019-061

Project: scroll to top
Date: 2019-August-14
Security risk: Moderately critical 13∕25
Vulnerability: Cross site scripting

Description

The Scroll To Top module enables you to have an animated scroll to top link in the bottom of the node.

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