Security reminder: MediaWiki does not require PHP's register_globals
setting since version 1.2.0. If you have it on, turn it *off* if you can.
+== MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 ==
+
+July 7, 2005
+
+MediaWiki 1.5 beta 3 is a preview release of the new 1.5 release
+series, with a security update over beta 2.
+
+Incorrect escaping of a parameter in the page move template could
+be used to inject JavaScript code by getting a victim to visit a
+maliciously constructed URL. Users of vulnerable releases are
+recommended to upgrade to this release.
+
+Vulnerable versions:
+* 1.5 preview series: n <= 1.5beta2 vulnerable, fixed in 1.5beta3
+* 1.4 stable series: 1.4beta6 <= n <= 1.4.5 vulnerable, fixed in 1.4.6
+* 1.3 legacy series: not vulnerable
+
+This release also includes several bug fixes and localization updates.
+See the changelog at the end of this file for a detailed list.
