Drupal Taxonomy Filter Module Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

The Taxonomy Filter module for Drupal is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it 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.

Versions prior to Taxonomy Filter 6.x-1.1 are vulnerable.
