   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-051
   * Project: Term Queue [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x
   * Date: 2015-February-18
   * Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

Term Queue module allows you to create lists of taxonomy terms and display
them in a block.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user supplied text in some
administration pages, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

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


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

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

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

   * Term Queue 6.x-1.0

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

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

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Term Queue module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Term Queue
     6.x-1.1 [5]

Also see the Term Queue [6] project page.
