Bug description:
  Hi  Mahara Security Team,

  I have found a Persistent/Stored Cross site scripting (XSS)
  vulnerability in Mahara version 1.6.

  What is Cross site scripting(XSS): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-
  site_scripting

  The vulnerability exists in the following link:
  http://demo.mahara.org/artefact/internal/notes.php

  For example, in a note such as
  http://demo.mahara.org/artefact/internal/editnote.php?id=1XX , the
  "Note Title" is thrown with a xss vector such as "><img src=x
  onerror=prompt(1);> or <script>alert(/xss/);</script>.

  When the notes page(http://demo.mahara.org/artefact/internal/notes.php
  ) is loaded, the payload on the title triggers the xss since it is not
  sanitized.

  Fix it as soon as possible.
  Thanks.

  M.R.Vignesh Kumar(@vigneshkumarmr)
