MediaWiki is een Wiki-engine, uitgegeven onder de GPL-licentie, die gebruikt kan worden om content te creëren en te beheren. Het wordt onder andere gebruikt voor de websites van de Wikimedia Foundation, zoals Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikibooks en Wikiquote. Het uiterlijk is met behulp van skins geheel naar eigen wensen aan te passen, op deze pagina staan een aantal voorbeelden van verschillende skins. De ontwikkelaars hebben onder andere een belangrijk beveilingslek gedicht en daarvoor drie nieuwe versies uitgebracht met 1.8.3, 1.7.2 en 1.6.9 als de versienummers.
Version 1.8.3:
MediaWiki 1.8.3 fixes several issues in the Fall 2006 snapshot release:Version 1.7.2:
- (bug 7831) Regression in AutoAuthenticate hook
- Run PHP install version checks on update.php so command-line updaters see new version requirements
- Do a check for the PHP 5.0.x 64-bit bug, since this is much more disruptive as of MW 1.8 than it used to be. Install or upgrade now aborts with a warning and a request to upgrade.
- XSS fix in AJAX module
An XSS injection vulnerability was located in the AJAX support module, affecting MediaWiki 1.6.x and up when the optional setting $wgUseAjax is enabled. There is no danger in the default configuration, with $wgUseAjax off. If you are using an extension based on the optional AJAX module, either disable it or upgrade to a version containing the fix.Version 1.6.9:
