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

A tribune is a type of chatroom.

The module doesn't sufficiently filter user provided text from Tribune node
titles.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission to create a Tribune node.

module, there is nothing you need to do.
