- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-075
- Project: Organic Groups Vocabulary (third-party module)
- Version: 5.x
- Date: 2009-October-21
- Security risk: Critical
- Exploitable from: Remote
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
The Organic Groups Vocabulary module enables an organic group to have a group specific vocabulary. In some specific cases, the module does not sanitize before outputting the group title, 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 5.x before Organic Groups Vocabulary 5.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
Upgrade to the latest version:
- If you use Organic Groups Vocabulary for Drupal 5.x upgrade to version 5.x-1.1
