  * Project: Organic Groups Vocabulary (third-party module)
  * Version: 5.x
  * Date: 2009-October-21
  * Security risk: Critical

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

The Organic Groups Vocabulary module enables an organic group to have a group
specific vocabulary. In some specific cases, the module does not sanitize
before outputting the group title, 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 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  
------------------------------------------------------------

Upgrade to the latest version:
  * If you use Organic Groups Vocabulary for Drupal 5.x upgrade to version
    5.x-1.1 [3]
