[Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2012-029 - Taxonomy Views Integrator - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

[security-news at drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-029
  * Project:
    Taxonomy Views Integrator (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2012-February-29
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [1]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

The Taxonomy Views Integrator allows selective overriding of taxonomy terms
and/or vocabulary with the view of your choice. Using TVI you can easily
create custom views to output all terms in X vocabulary.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter user supplied text on views pages.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "administer taxonomy".

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

  * Taxonomy Views Integrator 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed
module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Taxonomy Views Integrator module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to
    Taxonomy Views Integrator 6.x-1.3 [2]

See also the
project page.
