Moderately Critical XSS Vulnerability in Navbar in Drupal 7

The Drupal Security Team announced a moderately critical Cross-site Scripting-SA-CONTRIB-2022-011 Vulnerability in Navbar module in Drupal 7on January 25th, 2022.

The Navbar module provides a simple, mobile-friendly navigation toolbar but 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:

If you use the Navbar module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Navbar 7.x-1.8
