We haven't tried Swiki with later versions of the Squeak VM, but it might work 
as-is.  To integrate the Swiki or AniAni code with later versions of the Squeak 
code would probably take more effort.

The security bug we dealt with was a cross-site scripting problem. If a Swiki 
isn't found, the basename was returned without quoting.  If it was JavaScript, 
the JavaScript would then be executed, as if coming from the Swiki server.  I 
made a one word change to one script to quote the return value.  I think the 
code is somewhere in the PWS list archives.

Cheers,
 Mark

Subject: [Pws] upgrading squeak/swiki

I've been using a swiki now for nearly 10 years. It is a great system for quick 
intro to hypertext context for teaching my college art courses. I've tried 
other systems, but none offer the design flexibility (html functions) and the 
ease of use.

I am currently running Squeak 3.6.1Beta5, which seems to be the latest version 
I could find packaged for wiki use. Http://wiki.squeak.org/swiki/16.

I also found download for Squeak VM version 4.2, but not with the swiki package.

I basically would like to upgrade to prevent occasional errors I get and to 
possibly implement the aniani function. While I'm at it I want to use the 
latest versions. Are there other newer packages out there? Can I reconfigure 
the parts (image, swiki files) with the 4.2 version of Squeak VM? Is there 
something problematic about using Aniani? I recall possible security issues.
