VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38380/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Author Contact module for
Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script
insertion attacks.

Certain input passed via the "Author Contact" block is not properly
sanitised before being displayed to the user. 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 requires "administer blocks" permissions.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 6.x-1.3 and
5.x-1.3.

SOLUTION:
Author Contact 6.x:
Update to version 6.x-1.3.
http://drupal.org/node/694238

Author Contact 5.x:
Update to version 5.x-1.3.
http://drupal.org/node/693896
