Drupal Petition Node Module Script Insertion Vulnerability


Description   A vulnerability has been reported in the Petition Node module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.
Certain input when signing a petition 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 the malicious data is being viewed.
Successful exploitation requires permissions to sign petitions.
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 6.x-1.5.
