CVE-2008-3095


Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Organic groups module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to disclose potentially sensitive information or conduct script insertion attacks.

1) Certain unspecified input when starting a discussion in a group is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation requires that a user is e.g. tricked into joining a malicious group and starting a discussion.

2) It is possible to view the title of private groups when OG Access module is enabled and the site uses the private groups feature.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 5.x-7.3 and 6.x-1.0-RC1.

Solution:
Update to the fixed versions.

5.x-7.3:
http://drupal.org/node/277854

6.x-1.0-RC1:
