 | Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk. Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved. Problem: Vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, because it passes user input directly into SQL commands. This may lead to user accounts being hijacked, wiki content being compromised, private data being leaked, malware being injected, and the entire wiki content being erased, among other things.
