- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-034
- Project: Node Recommendation (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2012-March-7
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
CVE: CVE-2012-1659
This module shows users other nodes that they might be interested in based on a simple logic and using taxonomy. The aim of this module is to provide sensible defaults and an easy configuration for less-technical users and to allow it to be manually overriden. The module doesn't sufficiently filter user supplied text. The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker would need permission to create taxonomy terms or edit node titles to exploit the issue.
