Hash: SHA1

MediaWiki 1.11.2 is a security release of the Fall 2007 snapshot release
of MediaWiki. Possible cross-site information leaks using the callback
parameter for JSON-formatted results in the API are prevented by
dropping user credentials.

MediaWiki release versions prior to 1.11 are not vulnerable, as they do
not include the callback feature which allows client-side JavaScript on
other sites to reach API data.

Changes in this release:

* User credentials are dropped for API JSON requests using a callback
* Edit tokens are not reported for API JSON requests using a callback
