* Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-2008-024
* Project: Webform (third-party module)
* Version: 5.x, 6.x
* Date: 2008-April-03

- ------------DESCRIPTION------------
The contributed webform module provides a webform nodetype. Typical uses for
webform are to create questionnaires, contact or request/register forms,
surveys, polls or a front end to issues tracking systems.
On several points in the codebase, user-supplied data is not escaped before it
is displayed. This allows users to inject arbitrary HTML and scripts into pages,
which may lead to administrator access when certain conditions are met.
Wikipedia has more information about cross site scripting [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xss ] (XSS).
- ------------VERSIONS AFFECTED------------

* Webform for Drupal 5.x prior to 5.x-2.0-beta3
* Webform for Drupal 6.x prior to 6.x-1.0-beta3
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Webform module,
there is nothing you need to do.
