Polyglot (computing)

In computing, a polyglot is a computer program or script (or other file) written in a valid form of multiple programming languages or file formats.[1] The name was coined by analogy to multilingualism. A polyglot file is composed by combining syntax from two or more different formats.[2]

When the file formats are to be compiled or interpreted as source code, the file can be said to be a polyglot program, though file formats and source code syntax are both fundamentally streams of bytes, and exploiting this commonality is key to the development of polyglots.[3] Polyglot files have practical applications in compatibility,[4] but can also present a security risk when used to bypass validation or to exploit a vulnerability.
