Message-ID: <86bb634aca9be66ee882d799d87d0926@intern0t.net> Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:42:25 -0400 From: InterN0T Advisories <advisories@...ern0t.net> To: <full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk> Subject: Re: [Security-news] SA-CONTRIB-2012-040 - CKEditor and FCKeditor - multiple XSS, arbitrary code execution FYI, this bug was recently fixed by the CKEditor Developers, as the bug itself was in the CKEditor module, not Drupal. (They just use it like everyone else.)
