Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the OpenID module for Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting or cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Certain input passed from the OpenID provider is not properly sanitised before being returned to a user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
2) The module allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g. delete OpenID identities by enticing a logged-in user to visit a malicious site.
The vulnerabilities affect versions prior to 5x.-1.2.
Solution:
Update to version 5x.-1.2.
