Chris Steipp has started work auditing several parts of our system. Two new vulnerabilities were reported or identified in code review; one fix was put into production. Chris also completed an initial audit of global Javascript and CSS across Wikimedia sites in response to reports of problematic Javascript. Chris also finished up work on enhanced SVG security filter to strip out elements not included on a feature whitelist.
