Fedora 25: python-wikitcms Security Update
Summary
python-wikitcms is a library for interacting with Fedora's wiki-based 'test
management' system. It can:
* Create the pages for release validation test events
* Find existing release validation event pages, in various ways
* Report test results
The wiki-based test management system itself is documented at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wikitcms
Update Information:
This update contains a **SECURITY** fix for an issue with potentially serious
consequences but very limited scope. If an administrator of a wiki you talked to
using python-wikitcms were malicious, they could cause arbitrary code execution
as the user running wikitcms. No-one besides a wiki administrator could do this,
as it requires crafting the wiki's response to an edit request to include a
malicious payload. It also drops some now useless or unneeded code (due to
changes in mediawiki and mwclient).
