Reflected_XSS issue exists @ app/routes/contributions.js in branch master

Method function at line 9 of app\routes\contributions.js gets user input for the userId element. This element’s value then flows through the code without being properly sanitized or validated and is eventually displayed to the user in method contributionsDAO.getByUserId at line 12 of app\routes\contributions.js. This may enable a Cross-Site-Scripting attack.
