  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-097
  * Project: Organic Groups Vocabulary (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2009-November-4
  * Security risk: Moderately critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Organic Groups Vocabulary module enables a vocabulary to be restricted
for use to a specific Organic Group. The module does not sanitize before
outputting the group title in some cases, resulting in a cross-site scripting
(XSS [1]) vulnerability. Such an attack may lead to a malicious user gaining
full administrative access.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * Organic Groups Vocabulary versions for Drupal 6.x prior to Organic Groups
    Vocabulary 6.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  
------------------------------------------------------------

Upgrade to the latest version:
  * If you use Organic Groups Vocabulary for Drupal 6.x upgrade to version
    6.x-1.1 [3]

See also the Organic Groups Vocabulary module project page [4].
