SA-CONTRIB-2015-046 - Taxonomy Tools - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Taxonomy Tools module provides alternative ways of managing taxonomy terms.

The module doesn’t sufficiently escape node and taxonomy term titles when displaying them, allowing a malicious user to inject code.

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