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

This module enables you to obtain the status for a user's Skype account

The module doesn't sufficiently sanitize the user input for their Skype ID.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have an
account on the site and be allowed to edit/input their Skype ID.
