   * Project: Registration codes [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x, 7.x
   * Date: 2015-March-04
   * Security risk: 16/25 ( Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery

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

Registration codes module allows new account registrations only for users who
provide a valid registration code.

The module was not properly sanitizing user supplied text in some pages,
thereby exposing XSS vulnerabilities.

Additionally, some URLs were not protected against CSRF, a malicious user can
cause an administrator to delete rules by getting their browser to make a
request to a specially-crafted URL.

The XSS vulnerabilities may be mitigated by the fact that an attacker must
have a user allowed to create/edit taxonomy terms or nodes.

     accordance with Drupal Security Team processes./
