Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2008-5186 medium priority: Ubuntu including 3 source packages (dokuwiki, geshi, pgfouine), 33 status rows across 11 suites (dapper, gutsy, hardy, intrepid, jaunty, karmic, lucid, maverick, natty, oneiric, upstream): not-affected 18, ignored 10, released 3, DNE 2.
The set_language_path function in geshi.php in Generic Syntax Highlighter (GeSHi) before 1.0.8.1 might allow remote attackers to conduct file inclusion attacks via crafted inputs that influence the default language path ($path variable). NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a vendor, stating that only a static value is used, so this is not a vulnerability in GeSHi. Separate CVE identifiers would be created for web applications that integrate GeSHi in a way that allows control of the default language path
