Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) In drupal/ckeditor_lts

Description

The CKEditor 4 LTS - WYSIWYG HTML editor module uses the CKEditor library for WYSIWYG editing. CKEditor has released a security update that on certain configurations may impact the Drupal module that bundles and integrates this code.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact it requires:

    full-page editing mode is enabled

    or CDATA elements in Advanced Content Filtering configuration (defaults to script and style elements) are enabled.

    An attacker must have a permission with access to the CKEditor instance.

For more information, see CKEditor's security advisory:
