Hi,

mahara is using the vulnerable version of html2text,
which could lead to code execution attacks, the same of CVE-2008-5619 in roundcube.

The patch for this issue can be found at [1]

I'm not sure if it is exploitable, and version in stable isn't affected, so I set the severity only
to important.

Cheers,
Giuseppe.
