  * Security risk: Moderately critical [2]

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

The Yandex.Metrics module enables you to install Yandex.Metrica tracking code
and watch reports by key indicators of user activity.
The module doesn't sufficiently escape Yandex.Metrica service data when being
displayed.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that it only impacts sites with
published content which contains special code and which is indexed by Yandex
search engine.
