+## javascript insertion via svg uris

+Ivan Shmakov pointed out that the htmlscrubber allowed `data:image/*` urls,

+This hole was discovered on 12 March 2010 and fixed the same day

+A fix was also backported to Debian etch, as version 2.53.5. I recommend
+upgrading to one of these versions if your wiki can be edited by third
+parties.
