Description

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the FAQ Ask module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks, and by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Certain input passed to unspecified parameters is not properly sanitised before being displayed to the user. 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 the malicious data is being viewed.

2) The module allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validation checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. trick an administrator into visiting a malicious site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 6.x-2.0.


Solution
Update to version 6.x-2.0.
