The actions feature combined with Drupal's trigger module allows users to configure certain actions to happen when users register, content is submitted, and so on; through a web based interface.
Users with "administer actions permission" can enter action descriptions and messages which are not properly filtered on output. Users with content and taxonomy tag submission permissions can create nodes and taxonomy terms which are not properly sanitized for inclusion in action messages and inject arbitrary HTML and script code into Drupal pages. Such a cross-site scripting attack may lead to the malicious user gaining administrative access. Wikipedia has more information about cross-site scripting (XSS).
This issue affects Drupal 6.x only.
