  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-018

  * Security risk: Moderately critical

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

Titles are not escaped prior to being displayed on content edit forms, allowing
users to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into these pages.

The Drupal.checkPlain function, used to escape text in ECMAScript, contains a
bug which causes it to escape only the first instance of a character, allowing
users to inject arbitrary HTML and script code in certain pages.

Wikipedia has more information about cross site scripting [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xss ] (XSS).

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

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

Install the latest version:

  * Upgrade to Drupal 6.1 [
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-6.1.tar.gz ].

If you are unable to upgrade immediately, you can apply a patch to secure your
installation until you are able to do a proper upgrade. 

  * To patch Drupal 6.0 use SA-2008-018-6.0.patch [
http://drupal.org/files/sa-2008-018/SA-2008-018-6.0.patch ].
