Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

1) Input passed as titles is not properly sanitised before being stored. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed in content edit forms.

2) Input passed to unspecified parameters is not properly sanitised before being stored. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed.

Successful exploitation requires in both cases that the attacker has valid user credentials.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 6.0.
