## Description

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the addItem method in the Menu
widget in YUI before 2.9.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web
script or HTML via a field that is added to a menu, related to
documentation that specifies this field as a text field rather than an HTML
field, a similar issue to CVE-2010-4569 and CVE-2010-4570.
