Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Taxonomy Autotagger module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection and script insertion attacks.

1) Certain unspecified input when creating or editing posts 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 when a malicious page is viewed.

2) Certain unspecified input passed when creating or editing posts is not properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities require permission to create or edit posts.

Solution:
Update to version 5.x-1.8.
