[Security Focus 28026]
March 4, 2008 15:00 GMT Number S-217
______________________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM: Drupal is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities
because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input
data.
PLATFORM: Drupal 6.0
DAMAGE: Execute script code.
SOLUTION: Upgrade to the appropriate version.
______________________________________________________________________________
VULNERABILITY The risk is MEDIUM. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code
