Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the term data detail page in Taxonomy manager 5.x before 5.x-1.2, a module for Drupal, allows remote authenticated users, with administer taxonomy privileges or the ability to use free tagging to add taxonomy terms, to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via "Parent and related terms."

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-2083 is an authenticated cross-site scripting issue in the Drupal Taxonomy Manager module 5.x before 5.x-1.2. A user who can administer taxonomy or create free-tagging terms could inject script or HTML through the Parent and related terms field, potentially affecting other users who view the term detail page. Exposure is most likely on legacy Drupal sites still running Taxonomy Manager 5.x before 5.x-1.2. Risk increases if free tagging is enabled for broad authenticated user groups or if privileged users routinely view submitted taxonomy data. Treat this as a targeted legacy-application cleanup item, not an emergency based on available evidence. Prioritize systems where many users can create taxonomy terms or where administrator sessions could be exposed to stored content. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Taxonomy Manager 5.x to version 5.x-1.2 or later where applicable.; Restrict administer taxonomy and free-tagging permissions to trusted roles only.; Review vendor guidance from the linked Drupal advisories before changing legacy systems..
