Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as low-privilege wiki editor
Delivery
Inject XSS payload via API, log reason, or page content
Exploit
Payload stored in MediaWiki database
Execution
Victim user loads affected page or log entry
Persist
Malicious script executes in victim browser
Impact
Steal session token or perform actions as victim

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a low-privileged authenticated account on the target MediaWiki installation (consistent with CVSS PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) contains a critical inconsistency: all impact metrics are set to None, which is incompatible with any meaningful XSS vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated wiki editor with standard editing privileges submits a wiki page, permission change reason, or API-formatted content containing a crafted JavaScript payload that is not properly escaped by one of the five affected rendering paths - for example, a maliciously formatted group-change reason in CentralAuth's PermissionChangeLogFormatter. When a wiki administrator or another logged-in user navigates to the log page or API help endpoint, the payload executes in their browser session, potentially stealing session cookies or performing authenticated actions on their behalf. …
Remediation Upgrade MediaWiki and the CentralAuth extension to one of the patched releases: 1.43.9, 1.44.6, 1.45.4, or 1.46.0 - select the branch matching your current deployment series. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
