"According to its version number, the instance of MediaWiki running on
the remote host is affected by multiple security vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists related to certificate validation due to
    the server hostname not being verified to match a domain
    name in the Common Name (CN) or SubjectAltName of the
    X.509 certificate. This allows a man-in-the-middle
    attacker to spoof SSL services through the use of an
    arbitrary certificate. (CVE-2013-1816)

  - A flaw exists when unblocking a user via the API that
    leads to the disclosure of sensitive information.
    (CVE-2013-1817)

  - A flaw exists in version 1.20 in the
    'maintenance/mwdoc-filter.php' script that is triggered
    under certain server conditions. A remote attacker can
    exploit this to gain access to arbitrary files.
    (CVE-2013-1818)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead
relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
