SA-CONTRIB-2013-085 - Feed Element Mapper - Cross Site Scripting

Feed Element Mapper is an add-on module for FeedAPI that maps elements on a feed item such as tags or the author name to taxonomy or CCK fields.
The module doesn’t sufficiently filter text when displaying options to users.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “administer taxonomy”.
