Discussion

Drupal Deleted Input Format HTML Injection Vulnerability

Drupal is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

Versions prior to Drupal 5.13 and 6.7 are affected.
