by Chris Steipp

I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.21.3, 1.20.8 and 1.19.9. These releases fix 2 security related bugs that could affect users of MediaWiki. Download links are given at the end of this email. * Kevin Israel (Wikipedia user PleaseStand) identified and reported two vectors for injecting Javascript in CSS that bypassed MediaWiki's blacklist (CVE-2013-4567, CVE-2013-4568). <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55332> * Internal review while debugging a site issue discovered that MediaWiki and the CentralNotice extension were incorrectly setting cache headers when a user was autocreated, causing the user's session cookies to be cached, and returned to other users (CVE-2013-4572). <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53032> Additionally, the following extensions have been updated to fix security issues: * CleanChanges: MediaWiki steward Teles reported that revision-deleted IP's are not correctly hidden when this extension is used (CVE-2013-4569). <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54294> * ZeroRatedMobileAccess: Tomasz Chlebowski reported an XSS vulnerability (CVE-2013-4573). <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55991> * CentralAuth: MediaWiki developer Platonides reported a login CSRF in CentralAuth (CVE-2012-5394).
