some security notes for them.
* The [[plugins/img]] plugin assumes that imagemagick/perlmagick are secure
- from malformed image attacks. Imagemagick has had security holes in the

past. To be able to exploit such a hole, a user would need to be able to
upload images to the wiki.
The fix was released on 30 Aug 2009 in version 3.1415926, and was
backported to stable in version 2.53.4. If you use the teximg plugin,
I recommend upgrading. ([[!cve CVE-2009-2944]])

+## javascript insertion via svg uris
+
+Ivan Shmakov pointed out that the htmlscrubber allowed `data:image/*` urls,
+including `data:image/svg+xml`. But svg can contain javascript, so that is
+unsafe.
+
+This hole was discovered on 12 March 2010 and fixed the same day
+with the release of ikiwiki 3.20100312.
+A fix was also backported to Debian etch, as version 2.53.5. I recommend
+upgrading to one of these versions if your wiki can be edited by third
+parties.
+
+## javascript insertion via insufficient htmlscrubbing of comments
+
+Kevin Riggle noticed that it was not possible to configure
+`htmlscrubber_skip` to scrub comments while leaving unscubbed the text
+of eg, blog posts. Confusingly, setting it to "* and !comment(*)" did not
+scrub comments.
+
+Additionally, it was discovered that comments' html was never scrubbed during
+preview or moderation of comments with such a configuration.
+
+These problems were discovered on 12 November 2010 and fixed the same
+hour with the release of ikiwiki 3.20101112. ([[!cve CVE-2010-1673]])
+
+## javascript insertion via insufficient checking in comments
+
+Dave B noticed that attempting to comment on an illegal page name could be
+used for an XSS attack.
+
+This hole was discovered on 22 Jan 2011 and fixed the same day with
+the release of ikiwiki 3.20110122. A fix was backported to Debian squeeze,
+as version 3.20100815.5. An upgrade is recommended for sites
+with the comments plugin enabled. ([[!cve CVE-2011-0428]])
+
+## possible javascript insertion via insufficient htmlscrubbing of alternate stylesheets
+
+Giuseppe Bilotta noticed that 'meta stylesheet` directives allowed anyone
+who could upload a malicious stylesheet to a site to add it to a
+page as an alternate stylesheet, or replacing the default stylesheet.
+
+This hole was discovered on 28 Mar 2011 and fixed the same hour with
+the release of ikiwiki 3.20110328. A fix was backported to Debian squeeze,
+as version 3.20100815.6. An upgrade is recommended for sites that have
+untrusted committers, or have the attachments plugin enabled.

+
+## tty hijacking via ikiwiki-mass-rebuild
+
+Ludwig Nussel discovered a way for users to hijack root's tty when
+ikiwiki-mass-rebuild was run. Additionally, there was some potential
+for information disclosure via symlinks. ([[!cve CVE-2011-1408]])
+
+This hole was discovered on 8 June 2011 and fixed the same day with
+the release of ikiwiki 3.20110608. Note that the fix is dependant on
+a version of su that has a similar hole fixed. Version 4.1.5 of the shadow
+package contains the fixed su; [[!debbug 628843]] tracks fixing the hole in
+Debian. An upgrade is a must for any sites that have `ikiwiki-update-wikilist`
+installed suid (not the default), and whose admins run `ikiwiki-mass-rebuild`.
+
+## javascript insertion via meta tags
+
+Raúl Benencia discovered an additional XSS exposure in the meta plugin.
+([[!cve CVE-2012-0220]])
+
+This hole was discovered on 16 May 2012 and fixed the same day with
+the release of ikiwiki 3.20120516. A fix was backported to Debian squeeze,
+as version 3.20100815.9. An upgrade is recommended for all sites.
+
+## XSS via openid selector
+
+Raghav Bisht discovered this XSS in the openid selector. ([[!cve CVE-2015-2793]])
+
+The hole was reported on March 24th, a fix was developed on March 27th,
+and the fixed version 3.20150329 was released on the 29th. A fix was backported
+to Debian jessie as version 3.20141016.2 and to Debian wheezy as version
+3.20120629.2. An upgrade is recommended for sites using CGI and openid.
+
+## XSS via error messages
+
+CGI error messages did not escape HTML meta-characters, potentially
+allowing an attacker to carry out cross-site scripting by directing a
+user to a URL that would result in a crafted ikiwiki error message. This
+was discovered on 4 May by the ikiwiki developers, and the fixed version
+3.20160506 was released on 6 May. An upgrade is recommended for sites using
+the CGI.
+
+## ImageMagick CVE-2016–3714 ("ImageTragick")
+
+ikiwiki 3.20160506 attempts to mitigate [[!cve CVE-2016-3714]] and any
+future ImageMagick vulnerabilities that resemble it, by restricting the
+image formats that the [[ikiwiki/directive/img]] directive is willing to
+resize. An upgrade is recommended for sites where an untrusted user is
+able to attach images. Upgrading ImageMagick to a version where
+CVE-2016-3714 has been fixed is also recommended, but at the time of
+writing no such version is available.
