-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

Within the MediaFront module, there is a PHP library for handling the stand

both the $_SESSION and $_SERVER variables are handled without proper checks
to make sure that no malicious code is injected within these variables.

  * MediaFront 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.5.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed MediaFront [3]
module, there is nothing you need to do.
