Ok – for those of us less knowledgeable, how exactly is this “code injection” ?

Exactly.  Like there might be a feature disabled for preventing code injection on the site as a whole, and not all code injection displays something like that.  In fact, I'd wager an attack via code injection would go unnoticed by the user all together.

Used to be that reading documentation articles about “null” – e.g. null routes, Null 0 interface, etc. – would give some rather, uh, “interesting” results in the related community discussions box off to the side of the article. Agreed it is rather concerning. Basically every language has standard functions for properly sanitizing/escaping text so there is no excuse other than sloppiness... which makes one wonder what else they are sloppy with.

Looks like I stumbled across some code injection on the following defect page:

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvq27976

It's innocent enough, but concerning that it's even possible.
