Syntax Highlighter is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

Syntax Highlighter version 3.0.83 is vulnerable; others may also be affected.

Inject the code ">"">>>><script>location="http://www.alkrsan.net"</script>""""> in index.html
