[security-news at drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2009-085
  * Project: Insert Node (third-party module)
  * Version: 5.x
  * Date: 2009-October-28
  * Security risk: Moderately Critical
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Insert Node module provides an input filter that enables a node to be
inserted within the body field of another node. The module fails to sanitize
the inserted node, making it vulnerable to a cross site scripting (XSS [1])
attack.
-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * Insert Node module versions for Drupal 5.x prior to Insert Node 5.x-1.2
    [2]

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

Install the latest version.
  * If you use the Insert Node module for Drupal 6.x there is nothing you need
    to do.
  * If you use the Insert Node module for Drupal 5.x upgrade to Insert Node
    5.x-1.2 [4]

-------- REPORTED BY

  * Konstantin Käfer [5].

-------- FIXED BY  
------------------------------------------------------------
