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

The Content Analysis module is an API designed to help modules that need to
analyze content.

The module fails to sanitize user input in log messages, leading to a Cross
Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that only sites with dblog module
enabled are affected.
