Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-119 - XSS vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.22.7, due to usernames on Special:PasswordReset being parsed as wikitext. The username on Special:PasswordReset can be supplied by anyone and will be parsed with wgRawHtml enabled. Since Special:PasswordReset is whitelisted by default on private wikis, this could potentially lead to an XSS crossing a privilege boundary.
