Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ATutor, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed via "Question" and "Choice" form fields in

will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site when the malicious data is being viewed.
Successful exploitation requires "Instructor" group credentials.
