On such wikis this allows an unauthenticated attacker to insert malicious JavaScript, a cross site scripting attack. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.19.16+dfsg-0+deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.19.16+dfsg-1.
