   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2014-127
   * Project:
     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2014-December-17
   * Security risk: 14/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [1]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

School Administration module enables you to keep records of all students and
staff. With inner modules, it aims to be a complete school administration
system.

The module failed to sanitize some node titles in messages, leading to a
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a user
with the permission to create or edit a class node.
