CVE reference:CVE-2007-4363


Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Drupal Content Construction Kit, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Unspecified input in the nodereference module is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user when a nodereference field is viewed using the "plain" formatter. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) Unspecified input in the nodereference module is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user when a nodereference field is edited using the "autocomplete text field" widget without the "Views.module" advanced option. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 4.7.x-1.6 and 5.x-1.6.

Solution:
Drupal 4.7.x:
Update to Drupal Content Construction Kit 4.7.x-1.6.
http://drupal.org/node/166994

Drupal 5.x:
