Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Wikimedia Foundation MediaWiki.
This issue affects MediaWiki: from * before 1.43.7, 1.44.4, 1.45.2.
AnalysisAI
MediaWiki before versions 1.43.7, 1.44.4, and 1.45.2 exposes sensitive information to unauthorized actors through a vulnerability requiring user interaction. The flaw allows information disclosure via network access without authentication, though impact is limited (CVSS 1.3) and requires user participation to trigger. Vendor-released patches are available across all affected major versions.
Technical ContextAI
MediaWiki is a free open-source wiki software platform used by Wikipedia and thousands of other sites. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), a weakness in information exposure controls. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network-accessible code (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no attack timing requirements (AT:N), and no privilege requirements (PR:N), but critically requires user interaction (UI:P) to exploit. The limited confidentiality impact (VC:L) combined with no integrity or availability impact suggests the exposure is narrowly scoped, likely affecting session tokens, user-specific data, or site configuration visible only through intentional user actions.
RemediationAI
Upgrade immediately to patched versions: MediaWiki 1.43.7 or later, 1.44.4 or later, or 1.45.2 or later - choose the series matching your current deployment. For sites on 1.43.x, upgrade to 1.43.7 or migrate to a newer series. For 1.44.x, upgrade to 1.44.4 or migrate upward. For 1.45.x, upgrade to 1.45.2. Standard MediaWiki upgrade procedures apply: backup the database and LocalSettings.php, download the release, run the maintenance update script (php maintenance/update.php), and verify functionality. No workarounds or compensating controls are documented; patching is the primary mitigation. Consult https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T410429 for technical details and confirm patch deployment before considering the issue resolved.
