SA-CONTRIB-2014-033 - Nivo Slider - Cross Site Scripting

Nivo Slider provides a way to showcase featured content. Nivo Slider gives administrators a simple method of adding slides to the slideshow, an administration interface to configure slideshow settings, and simple slider positioning using the Drupal block system.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize the title of images in the slider.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “administer nivo slider”.
