- ------------DESCRIPTION------------
Refine by Taxonomy is a module that provides a taxonomy browsing user
interface.
Taxonomy terms are not escaped before display, making it possible to inject
arbitrary HTML and script code into pages which contain the Refine by Taxonomy
feature. This may lead to administrator access if certain conditions are met.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Refine by
Taxonomy module, there is nothing you need to do.
