Description

MediaWiki before 1.23.16, 1.24.x through 1.27.x before 1.27.2, and 1.28.x before 1.28.1 allows remote attackers to discover the IP addresses of Wiki visitors via a style="background-image: attr(title url);" attack within a DIV element that has an attacker-controlled URL in the title attribute.

Solution(s)

  • mediawiki-upgrade-1_23_16
  • mediawiki-upgrade-1_27_2
  • mediawiki-upgrade-1_28_1

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.
