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. |
