   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-044
   * Project: Taxonomy Path [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-February-11
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Taxonomy Path module enables you to create custom links to taxonomy terms
within a display mode.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user provided text in the provided
"Link to path" field formatter, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with permission to create/edit taxonomy terms.


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./

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

   * Taxonomy Path 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Taxonomy Path
[4] module, there is nothing you need to do.

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Taxonomy Path module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Taxonomy
     Path 7.x-1.2 [5]
