Multiple security issues were discovered in MediaWiki, a website engine for collaborative work: SpecialUserRights could leak whether a user existed or not, multiple code paths lacked HTML sanitisation allowing for cross-site scripting and TOTP validation applied insufficient rate limiting against brute force attempts.
