+CGI error messages did not escape HTML meta-characters, potentially
+allowing an attacker to carry out cross-site scripting by directing a
+user to a URL that would result in a crafted ikiwiki error message. This

+## ImageMagick CVE-2016–3714 ("ImageTragick")
+
+ikiwiki 3.20160506 attempts to mitigate [[!cve CVE-2016-3714]] and any
+future ImageMagick vulnerabilities that resemble it, by restricting the
+image formats that the [[ikiwiki/directive/img]] directive is willing to
+resize. An upgrade is recommended for sites where an untrusted user is
+able to attach images. Upgrading ImageMagick to a version where
+CVE-2016-3714 has been fixed is also recommended, but at the time of
+writing no such version is available.
