It was reported that MediaWiki, a website engine for collaborative work,
allowed to load user-created CSS on pages where user-created JavaScript
is not allowed. A wiki user could be tricked into performing actions by
manipulating the interface from CSS, or JavaScript code being executed
from CSS, on security-wise sensitive pages like Special:Preferences and
Special:UserLogin. This update removes the separation of CSS and
JavaScript module allowance.
