Thread:Project:Support desk/Is there a way to upload MS Excel .xls files and PDF files in Mediawiki?/reply (5)

Let's say you allow all ordinary users to upload files. Some of them are known to you, others are not (read as "strangers").

The thing is: Why do the ReleaseNotes say it would be secure to upload MS Office files? Is that just wrong? What is the problem with them?
