Description

An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.37.3 and 1.38.x before 1.38.1. The contributions-title, used on Special:Contributions, is used as page title without escaping. Hence, in a non-default configuration where a username contains HTML entities, it won't be escaped.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
