   * Date: 2016-October-12
   * Security risk: 11/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Complex/A:Admin/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:Default [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

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

This module enables you to manage cron jobs.

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the cron rules which are entered
into "Predefined rules" field thereby exposing a Cross Site Scripting
vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the permission "Administer elysia cron".
