DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the Password Policy module
for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct
script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. unblock a user by tricking a
logged-in administrative user into visiting a malicious web site.

2) Input passed via the policy name when creating a password policy
is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to
insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site when the
malicious data is being viewed.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the
"administer policies" permission.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 6.x-1.4.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-1.4.
