- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-038
- Project: Taxonomy Views Integrator (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2011-August-31
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module enables you to override whole vocabularies or individual terms with the View of your choice. The module did not filter user entered term descriptions for Cross Site Scripting (XSS) injections. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "administer taxonomy".
Versions affected
- Taxonomy Views Integrator 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.2.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Taxonomy Views Integrator module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Taxonomy Views Integrator module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to 6.x-1.2
