  - When a private wiki is configured, it provides different error messages for failed login attempts - depending on whether the username exists -
which allows remote attackers to enumerate account names and conduct brute-force attacks via a series of requests. (CVE-2017-8810)

  - The implementation of raw message parameter expansion allows HTML mangling attacks. (CVE-2017-8811)

  - Allowing remote attackers to inject > (greater than) characters via the id attribute of a headline. (CVE-2017-8812)

  - The language converter allows attackers to replace text inside tags via a rule definition followed by 'a lot of junk'. (CVE-2017-8814)

  - The language converter allows attribute injection attacks via glossary rules. (CVE-2017-8815)");
