  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-099
  * Project: Node Hierarchy [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 6.x
  * Date: 2012-June-13
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Request Forgery

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

Node Hierarchy module allows for the creation of parent child relationships
among nodes that can create a tree-like hierarchy of content.

The module doesn't sufficiently confirm user intent when reordering children
nodes allowing a malicious user to trick a site admin to changing the desired
hierarchy.

CVE: Requested

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

  * Node Hierarchy 6.x-1.x versions prior to 6.x-1.5.

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * If you use the Node Hierarchy module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Node
    Hierarchy 6.x-1.5 [4]

Also see the Node Hierarchy [5] project page.
