Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2014-7870 is a cross-site scripting flaw in Drupal's Custom Search module. A user who already has the "administer custom search" permission could place script or HTML into a label field, potentially affecting administrators or users who view the resulting page. Exposure is most likely on legacy Drupal 6 or Drupal 7 sites using the Custom Search module below the fixed releases. The required permission narrows exposure to accounts allowed to administer custom search settings. Treat as a targeted legacy-platform cleanup item, not an internet-wide emergency based on current evidence. Prioritize if affected Drupal sites remain in production or if many users can administer Custom Search. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Custom Search to 6.x-1.12 or 7.x-1.14 or later.; Restrict "administer custom search" to trusted administrators only.; Review existing Custom Search label values for unexpected HTML or script content..
