DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the FAQ module for Drupal, which
can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Certain input when creating question and answer pairs 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.

Successful exploitation requires the "administer faq", "create faq",
"edit faq", or "edit own faq" permissions or the "ask question"
permission if the FAQ Ask module is also used.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 6.x-1.x prior to 6.x-1.13.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.x-1.13.
