[security-news AT drupal.org]

  * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2012-010
  * Project: stickynote [1] (third-party module)
  * Version: 7.x
  * Date: 2012-January-17
  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]
  * Exploitable from: Remote
  * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery

-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

This module enables you to add textual notes in a block to perform quality
assurance of your site.
Previously it did not sufficiently protect against Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
or Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF).
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "delete stickynotes" or "edit stickynotes".

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED  
---------------------------------------------------

  * Stickynote 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.1

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed stickynote [3]
module, there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION  
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

  * If you use Stickynote version 7.x-1.x download 7.x-1.1 [4].

See also the stickynote [5] project page.
