Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Successful exploitation requires that the victim hold an active authenticated session in a MediaWiki instance with the RedirectManager Extension installed and enabled (a non-default, opt-in configuration). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (Medium) is assigned with a vector of AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, which warrants explicit scrutiny: UI:N is atypical for CWE-352 CSRF, which canonically requires a victim to interact with a malicious page (CVSS 4.0 would normally assign UI:P for passive interaction, or UI:A for active). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious webpage containing a hidden HTML form or JavaScript fetch targeting the affected wiki's redirect management endpoint, then delivers a link to it via phishing or by embedding it in an external site. When an authenticated wiki editor visits the page, their browser automatically includes the MediaWiki session cookie, causing the wiki to process the forged redirect action as a legitimate user request, potentially creating, modifying, or deleting wiki redirects without the victim's knowledge. …
Remediation Upgrade the MediaWiki RedirectManager Extension to version 1.3.3 or later, which incorporates the CSRF protection fix implemented in Gerrit change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/RedirectManager/+/1275494. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
