Description
Node Notify is a lightweight module to allow subscription to comments on nodes for registered and anonymous users.
The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize some user provided content, leading to a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.
Additionally, some paths were not protected against CSRF. An attacker could cause another user to subscribe and unsubscribe notifications by getting the user’s browser to make a request to a specially-crafted URL.
