  * Date: 2010-January-13
  * Security risk: Moderately Critical

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

The Bibliography module enables users to manage and display lists of
scholarly publications. The module does not sanitize some of the
user-supplied data before displaying it, leading to a Cross Site Scripting

are able to exploit this vulnerability.

  * Bibliography module 6.x-1.9 and prior versions

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