Yes, it presents a huge security issue. Anyone who can modify your LocalSettings.php can execute arbitrary PHP code.

I would highly recommend NOT doing this. -- Legoktm _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
