This module integrates with Islandora, an open-source digital asset management (DAM) framework. Islandora integrates with various open-source services, which can be run in a distributed environment.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize URI paths for its custom route used for attaching media to nodes, which can also lead to cross-site scripting and other vulnerabilities.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "create media" and the ability to edit the node the media is being attached to.
