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

1) The module allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without making proper validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to execute certain administrative
tasks by tricking a logged-in administrator into visiting a malicious
web site.

2) Input passed via chat messages 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.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 6.x-2.13.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-2.13 or later.
