Summary
Details

Citizen is a MediaWiki skin that makes extensions part of the cohesive experience. The page MediaWiki:Tagline has its contents used unescaped, so custom HTML (including Javascript) can be injected by someone with the ability to edit the MediaWiki namespace (typically those with the editinterface permission, or sysops). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.16.0.
