AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in the MediaWiki Wikibase Extension allows remote attackers to inject malicious script that is stored on a wiki page and later executed in another user's browser when that page is viewed; the CVSS 3.1 vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N (6.1). Affected are Wikibase Extension versions before 1.46.1, 1.45.5, and 1.43.10; exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) and results in low confidentiality and integrity impact with scope change, not full server compromise. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires (1) the attacker to be able to store content in the Wikibase extension - on a typical open MediaWiki/Wikibase wiki this is possible anonymously or with a low-privilege account, but a wiki that restricts editing raises the effective privilege barrier; and (2) a second user to subsequently view the page containing the stored payload (UI:R), so there is no zero-click path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a stored XSS (CWE-79) in the Wikibase extension for MediaWiki, rated CVSS 6.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor-released patch by upgrading Wikibase to 1.46.1, 1.45.5, or 1.43.10 as appropriate for the deployed MediaWiki branch; patch availability is confirmed by the vendor and tracked at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T432877 with the corresponding Gerrit change at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/q/If871fa7684d42dae057c0517d4a17132cd7aefeb. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
