Description

An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.31.12 and 1.32.x through 1.35.x before 1.35.2. On Special:NewFiles, all the mediastatistics-header-* messages are output in HTML unescaped, leading to XSS.

Solution(s)

  • mediawiki-upgrade-1_31_12
  • mediawiki-upgrade-1_35_2

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.
