[Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2011-059 - Meta tags quick - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

[security-news at drupal.org]

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

The Meta tags quick module provides a simple tool to add meta tags to a site.
The module doesn't consistently filter user input which could lead to a Cross
Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer content types", "administer vocabularies and
terms" or another permission that allows modifying the names of entity
bundles.

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * Meta tags quick 7.x-2.x versions prior to 7.x-2.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Meta tags
quick [1] module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION  
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Meta tags quick module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Meta tags
    quick 7.x-2.3 [2].

See also the Meta tags quick [3] project page.
