Hi Everyone,

we've found a XSS vulnerability in the email fields which are shown when
you create a new dataset. This can be triggered by entering
"><script>alert('foo');</script>in one of the mail fields. When a user
accesses an dataset the alert message will popup.

This is caused by the function webhelpers.html.tools.*mail_to* on which
ckan relies.

Kind regards
Jakob Niggel
