Drupal FAQ Module Unspecified HTML Injection Vulnerability

The FAQ module for Drupal is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to 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 FAQ 5.x-2.14 and 6.x-1.11 are vulnerable.
