Description Matti Bickel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-11-30 16:12:40 UTC
From: http://drupal.org/node/339553

The User Karma module displays and manages karma points of users. How karma points are calculated is defined by other modules which hook into the User Karma module.

Unfortunately the User Karma module allows administrators to enter a list of content types and voting API values which are then used directly in SQL queries without being sanitized, enabling SQL injection attacks by malicious users. The module also contains a cross site scripting attack (XSS) vulnerability as some messages are displayed without being sanitized.
Versions Affected

    * Versions of User Karma for Drupal 5.x prior to 5.x-1.13
    * Versions of User Karma for Drupal 6.x prior to 6.x-1.0-beta1

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the User Karma module, there is nothing you need to do.
