Talk:2020-12-23 Security Disclosure

Not surprised. The extension was created by Yaron Koren, who (in the MediaWiki community) doesn’t have a very good reputation for security. He created his own wiki farm, Referata, which has all but shut down due to a hacker/cyberbully (who I was a victim of) getting access to the servers through another extension called “SiteSettings”.

 * Thank you for the disclosure. Now I'll think twice about using Yaron Koren's Cargo for the same reason. Oflameo (talk) 14:33, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

This seems also to have disabled the multimedia on Synth DIY Wiki, (see https://sdiy.info/wiki/User:Rob_Kam/Test_page, section 'Multimedia'). How do I get audio and video files, and YouTube hotlinks to display there please? --Rob Kam (talk) 16:46, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, this is likely related to the community noticeboard thread you started. I'm not sure, to be honest, as one of the proposed alternatives, TimedMediaHandler requires you to upload audio and video files locally. Perhaps we should investigate other extensions for remotely hosted audio files? For the video files, have you tried the Video and YouTube extensions? Dmehus (talk) 16:52, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Fixed now. --Rob Kam (talk) 22:16, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
