Full title: SyntaxHighlight 2.0 MediaWiki 1.28.0 Stored Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability 
Category: web applications
Platform: php
A vulnerability was found in the SyntaxHighlight MediaWiki extension. Using this vulnerability it is possible for an anonymous attacker to pass arbitrary options to the Pygments library. By specifying specially crafted options, it is possible for an attacker to trigger a (stored) cross site scripting condition. In addition, it allows the creating of arbitrary files containing user-controllable data. Depending on the server configuration, this can be used by an anonymous attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code. This issue was tested on SyntaxHighlight version 2.0 as bundled with MediaWiki version 1.28.0.
