This is a security release of 1.13.4, 1.12.4 and 1.6.12.

A number of cross-site scripting (XSS) security vulnerabilities were discovered in the web-based installer (config/index.php). These vulnerabilities all require a live installer -- once the installer has been used to install a wiki, it is deactivated.

Note that cross-site scripting vulnerabilities can be used to attack any website in the same cookie domain. So if you have an uninstalled copy of MediaWiki on the same site as an active web service, MediaWiki could be used to attack the active service.

If you are hosting an old copy of MediaWiki that you have never installed, we advise you to remove it from the web.

Additionally, we are releasing 1.14.0rc1, the first release candidate of the 2009 Q1 branch. Brave souls are encouraged to download it and try it out.

Note that we have disabled SQLite installation in 1.14, due to the incompleteness of the implementation. We intend to restore it in 1.15. We're not sure how many people are using SQLite, so contact us if our treatment of it is causing you problems.
