-		
-		<p>
-		  Vaadin 7.1.11 fixes two security issues discovered during internal review. 
-		</p>
-		<p><b>Escaping of OptionGroup item icon URLs</b></p>
-		<p>
-			The issue affects OptionGroup with item icons. Proper escaping of the 
-			src-attribute on the client side was not ensured when using icons for 
-			OptionGroup items. This could potentially, in certain situations, allow
-			a malicious user to inject content, such as javascript, in order to 
-			perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
-		</p>
-		<p>
-			In order for an application to be vulnerable, user provided input must
-			be used to form a URL used to display an icon for an OptionGroup item, 
-			when showing that Option Group to other users.<br/>
-			The vulnerability has been classified as moderate, due to it's limited
-			application. 
-		</p>
-		<p><b>Escaping of URLs in Util.getAbsoluteUrl()</b></p>
-		<p>
-			The client side Util.getAbsoluteUrl() did not ensure proper escaping
-			of the given URL. This could potentially, in certain situations, allow
-			a malicious user to inject content, such as javascript, in order to 
-			perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
-		</p>
-		<p>
-			The method is used internally by the framework in such a manner that it
-			is unlikely this attack vector can be utilized in practice. However,
-			third party components, or future use of the method, could make an 
-			attack viable.<br/>
-			The vulnerability has been classified as moderate, due to it's limited
-			application.
