By Drupal Security Team on
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-153
- Project: Taxonomy Find (third-party module)
- Version: 6.x, 7.x
- Date: 2015-September-30
- Security risk: 13/25 ( Moderately Critical) AC:None/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Uncommon
- Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting
Description
This module enables you to add a simple search interface to lookup taxonomy terms by name.
The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize output of taxonomy vocabulary names and term names.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "Administer vocabularies and terms" or the ability to add or edit nodes or entities with taxonomy fields attached.
CVE identifier(s) issued

Versions affected
- Taxonomy Find 6.x-2.x versions up to 6.x-1.2.
- Taxonomy Find 7.x-2.x versions up to 7.x-1.0.
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Taxonomy Find module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
