   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-032
   * Project: Node Invite [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x
   * Date: 2015-January-28
   * Security risk: 15/25 ( Critical)
     AC:None/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery, Open
     Redirect, Multiple vulnerabilities

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

Node Invite module enables you to invite people to RSVP on node types that
have been configured to represent events.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the titles of nodes in some
listings, allowing a malicious user to inject code, thereby leading to a
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is mitigated by
the fact that the attacker must have permission to create or edit nodes
configured to be used for RSVP.

Additionally, some URLs are not protected against CSRF. A malicious user can
cause a user with the "node_invite_can_manage_invite" permission to re-enable
node invitations by getting his browser to make a request to a
specially-crafted URL.

Lastly, the module is not checking that some destination parameters are
internal URLs, thereby leading to an Open Redirect vulnerability.
