SA-CONTRIB-2015-044 - Taxonomy Path - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Taxonomy Path module enables you to create custom links to taxonomy terms within a display mode.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize user provided text in the provided “Link to path” field formatter, thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with permission to create/edit taxonomy terms.
