  • Again linked to moving target of CGI module
  • Proposed fix: Downgrade CGI shipped with CgiContrib from 4.13 to 4.03

4. Miscellaneous

• Phone number spam:
  • In last 6 days over 120 pages created containing phone numbers.
  • PTh is removing it as quickly as possible so that twiki.org is not a magnet for more spam
  • Defined a new if-then-action rule to send PTh an SMS if a suspicious page is saved; for stuff like this the IfThenActionPlugin comes in handy
