Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the E-Publish module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) The module allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to delete topics, sections, editions, volumes, or publications by e.g. tricking a user into visiting a malicious site.

2) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. 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 version 5.x prior to 5.x-1.1.

Solution:
Update to version 5.x-1.1.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Stéphane Corlosquet, Drupal security team
