Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Help Tip module for
Drupal, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL
injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.

before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate
SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation may allow administrator access.

used in block titles. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.
