+This hole was discovered on 16 May 2012 and fixed the same day with

+
+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. The same fixes were backported to Debian
+8 "jessie" in version 3.20141016.3. A backport to Debian 7 "wheezy" is
+in progress.
+
+An upgrade is recommended for sites using
+the CGI. ([[!cve CVE-2016-4561]], OVE-20160505-0012)

+## ImageMagick CVE-2016–3714 ("ImageTragick")
+
+ikiwiki 3.20160506 and 3.20141016.3 attempt 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.
