-------- DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------

Petition node module allows the creation of petition nodes to collect signatures to show support for a cause.

The module contains a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be exploited when signing a petition.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it normally requires the 'sign petitions' permission in order to exploit it.

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED ---------------------------------------------------

* petition_node 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.5.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed petition_node [3] module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION ------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

* If you use the petition_node module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to petition_node 6.x-1.5 [4]

See also the petition_node [5] project page.
