Drupal Book Page Title cross-site scripting
| drupal-book-page-xss (46052) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Drupal is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker with "create book content" permission or the permission to edit book nodes could exploit this vulnerability using book page titles 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.
