  • Date: 2008-March-05
  • Security risk: Less critical

Description

Refine by Taxonomy is a module that provides a taxonomy browsing user interface.

Taxonomy terms are not escaped before display, making it possible to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into pages which contain the Refine by Taxonomy feature. This may lead to administrator access if certain conditions are met. Learn more about cross site scripting on Wikipedia.

Versions affected

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Refine by Taxonomy module, there is nothing you need to do.
