   Taint is an extension, which is used for detecting XSS codes (tainted
   string).
   And also can be used to spot sql injection vulnerabilities, and shell
   inject, etc.
  </para>
  <para>
   When taint is enabled, if you pass a tainted string (comes from <varname>$_GET</varname>,
   <varname>$_POST</varname> or <varname>$_COOKIE</varname>) to some functions, taint will warn you about that.
