Drupal Creative Commons Module Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

The Creative Commons module for Drupal is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Creative Commons 6.x-1.x through versions prior to 6.x-1.1 are vulnerable.
