Description Kurt Seifried 2012-10-28 06:59:04 UTC 
syntax-highlighting.sh: Fix command injection.

By not quoting the argument, an attacker with the ability to add files to the 
repository could pass arbitrary arguments to the highlight command, in 
particular, the --plug-in argument which can lead to arbitrary command 
execution. 

This patch adds simple argument quoting.
