- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-097
- Project: Organic Groups Vocabulary (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x
- Date: 2009-November-4
- Security risk: Moderately critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Organic Groups Vocabulary module enables a vocabulary to be restricted for use to a specific Organic Group. The module does not sanitize before outputting the group title in some cases, resulting in a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining full administrative access.
Versions affected
- Organic Groups Vocabulary versions for Drupal 6.x prior to Organic Groups Vocabulary 6.x-1.1
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Organic Groups Vocabulary module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
