Description

Meta tags quick adds meta tags editing to all non-administrative pages of Drupal site.

Redirector abuse in path-based meta tag editing form

When editing a path-based meta tag, module does not check destination parameter of the URL, allowing attacker to pass arbitrary URL to meta tag editing form.

XSS in path-based meta tag editing form

It is possible to inject arbitrary Javascript via the module's Path-based Metatags edit form that executes when a user attempts to delete a Path-based Metatag.

Both vulnerabilities are mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "Edit path based meta tags".
