-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

This module provides integration with the Mixpanel real-time analytics
service.

The module doesn't sufficiently escape the Mixpanel token when adding the

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "access administration pages".
