Drupal security advisory                                  DRUPAL-SA-2007-001
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project:          Drupal core.
Date:             2007-Jan-05.
Security risk:    Less critical.
Exploitable from: Remote.
Vulnerability:    Cross site scripting.

Description
-----------
A few arguments passed via URLs are not properly sanitized before display. 
When an attacker is able to entice an administrator to follow a specially 
crafted link, arbitrary HTML and script code can be injected and executed in 
the victim's session. Such an attack may lead to administrator access if 
certain conditions are met.
