-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------
The Own Term module allows users to create taxonomy terms in a designated vocabulary and when creating content this term is automatically added to the node. The module does not sanitize the term description on a term listing page which opens a cross-site scripting (XSS [1]) attack. Users with a role containing the permission 'create additional terms' can exploit this vulnerability. -------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------
