[Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2010-005 - Own Term - Cross site scripting
securi...@drupal.org
* Project: Own Term (third-party module)
* Version: 6.x-1.0
* Date: 2010-January-13
* Security risk: Moderately critical
* Exploitable from: Remote
* Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------
The Own Term module allows users to create taxonomy terms in a designated
vocabulary and when creating content this term is automatically added to the
node. The module does not sanitize the term description on a term listing
page which opens a cross-site scripting (XSS [1]) attack. Users with a role
containing the permission 'create additional terms' can exploit this
vulnerability.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------
* Own Term module 6.x-1.0
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Own Term
module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Own Term module for Drupal 6.x upgrade to Own Term 6.x-1.1
