CVE-2009-1844: Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Drupal 5.x before 5.18 and 6.x before 6.12 allow (1)...

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Drupal 5.x before 5.18 and 6.x before 6.12 allow (1) remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted UTF-8 byte sequences that are treated as UTF-7 by Internet Explorer 6 and 7, which are not properly handled in the "HTML exports of books" feature; and (2) allow remote authenticated users with administer taxonomy permissions to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the help text of an arbitrary vocabulary. NOTE: vector 1 exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-1575.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-1844 affects legacy Drupal 5 and 6 sites. Authenticated users could inject script or HTML into specific content areas, potentially causing browser-side actions under another user's session. The issue is old, but any surviving unpatched Drupal 5.x or 6.x site should be treated as exposed legacy risk. Exposure is mainly legacy Drupal 5 or 6 deployments, especially internet-facing sites that still permit authenticated content or taxonomy administration. Modern Drupal versions are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Prioritize remediation if any Drupal 5 or 6 system remains online. The business risk is lower than unauthenticated server compromise, but legacy authenticated XSS can still support account abuse, content tampering, or session misuse. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Drupal 5.x to 5.18 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Drupal 6.x to 6.12 or later where applicable.; Review Drupal and Debian advisories for distribution-specific packages..
