Drupal Link Module HTML Injection Vulnerability

The Link module for Drupal is prone to HTML-injection vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input 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.

Link 5.x-2.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
