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. -------- REPORTED BY --------------------------------------------------------- * Richard Kapolnai [6] -------- FIXED BY ------------------------------------------------------------ * Scott Hadfield [7] the module maintainer -------- RELEASE COORDINATED BY ---------------------------------------------- * Michael Hess [8] of the Drupal Security Team -------- CONTACT AND MORE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- The Drupal security team can be reached at security at drupal.org or via the contact form at http://drupal.org/contact [9].
