Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in MediaWiki, a wiki engine. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues:

CVE-2013-2031

Cross-site scripting attack via valid UTF-7 encoded sequences in a SVG file.

CVE-2013-4567 & CVE-2013-4568 Kevin Israel (Wikipedia user PleaseStand) reported two ways to inject Javascript due to an incomplete blacklist in the CSS sanitizer function.

CVE-2013-4572

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-2013-6452

Chris from RationalWiki reported that SVG files could be uploaded that include external stylesheets, which could lead to XSS when an XSL was used to include JavaScript.

CVE-2013-6453

MediaWiki's SVG sanitization could be bypassed when the XML was considered invalid.

CVE-2013-6454

MediaWiki's CSS sanitization did not filter -o-link attributes, which could be used to execute JavaScript in Opera 12.

CVE-2013-6472
