DESCRIPTION:
MustLive has discovered a vulnerability in the Cumulus module for
Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "tagcloud" parameter to
modules/cumulus/cumulus.swf (when "mode" is set to "tags") is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 6.x-1.4. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy.
