Discussion
Drupal Bibliography Module Biblio Item HTML Injection Vulnerability
The Bibliography module for Drupal is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability 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.
Note that to exploit this issue, the attacker must have sufficient privileges to create content displayed by the Bibliography module.
The issue affects Bibliography 6.x-1.6; other versions may also be affected.
NOTE: This issue may be related to the vulnerability described in BID 35865 (Drupal Bibliography Module 'title' HTML Injection Vulnerability). We will update or retire this BID when more information becomes available.
