+
+MediaWiki 1.5 alpha 2 includes a lot of bug fixes, feature merges,
+and a security update.
+
+Incorrect handling of page template inclusions made it possible to
+inject JavaScript code into HTML attributes, which could lead to
+cross-site scripting attacks on a publicly editable wiki.
+
+Vulnerable releases and fix:
+* 1.5 prerelease: fixed in 1.5alpha2
+* 1.4 stable series: fixed in 1.4.5
+* 1.3 legacy series: fixed in 1.3.13
+* 1.2 series no longer supported; upgrade to 1.4.5 strongly recommended
