* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2011-037 * Project: Node Invite [1] (third-party module) * Version: 6.x * Date: 2011-Augest-31 * Security risk: Moderately critical [2] * Exploitable from: Remote * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Node Invite module allows you to invite users (with existing accounts or otherwise) to specified nodes on a Drupal site.
This module does not properly use t() strings to ensure all text was sanitized when data was output through a form_set_error message, thus creating a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
* Node invite 6.x versions prior to 6.x-2.3 [3].
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Node Invite [4] module, there is nothing you need to do.
-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
Install the latest version:
* If you use the Node Invite module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to node_invite-6.x-2.3
See also the Node Invite [5] project page.

-------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------
