-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Organic Groups Vocabulary module enables an organic group to have a group specific vocabulary.

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 [2]
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Organic Groups Vocabulary module, there is nothing you need to do. -------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------
