 * I shouldn’t be posting this from a profile that identifies me. It might be traced.
   But I must get the word out. If you view a Page (presumably also a Post) revision
   and then compare the same revision with itself, you will open a backdoor that
   makes your site vulnerable to attack. You’ve been warned. I have to go.

 * Meet me at the dis-used train station at twenty one hundred hours. We’ll swap
   the briefcase containing the microfilm there. I’ll bring the money. Code word:
   Grey Squirrel. They aren’t on to us yet, so we must move quickly. Red fox out.
 * Seriously though, if you have really found a security bug, please report details
