Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Tinytax taxonomy block module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.
Certain unspecified input when creating taxonomy terms 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.
Successful exploitation requires permission to create taxonomy terms.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 5.x-1.10-1.
Solution:
Update to version 5.x-1.10-1.
