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

The Webform Matrix Component module is an extension of the Webform module
that adds Matrix and Table components.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize user supplied text, thereby exposing
a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with permission to create/edit webform nodes.
