Drupal Content Construction Kit (CCK) nodereference module autocomplete cross-site scripting
| cck-nodereference-autocomplete-xss (36002) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
The nodereference module in Drupal Content Construction Kit (CCK) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the autocomplete text field without the "Views.module" advanced option to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
