XSS in Despam page The page name is not escaped in the revert_pages() function in Despam.py. It appears only privileged users are allowed to use the Despam action. Since the script must occur in the page name, it is pretty obvious when viewing that the page is suspicious (but this might be why someone was using the Despam action in the first place). There is also a limit on the length of the page name.
