MediaWiki 1.2x before 1.22.15, 1.23.x before 1.23.8, and 1.24.x before 1.24.1 allows remote attackers to bypass CORS restrictions in $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains via a domain that has a partial match to an allowed origin, as demonstrated by "http://en.wikipedia.org.evilsite.example/."
Search vulnerabilities
MediaWiki before 1.23.11, 1.24.x before 1.24.4, and 1.25.x before 1.25.3 does not properly restrict access to revisions, which allows remote authenticated users with the viewsuppressed user right to remove revision suppressions via a crafted revisiondelete action, which returns a valid a change form.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in contrib/cssgen.php in the GeSHi, as used in the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi extension and MediaWiki before 1.23.10, 1.24.x before 1.24.3, and 1.25.x before 1.25.2, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
GeSHi, as used in the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi extension and MediaWiki before 1.23.10, 1.24.x before 1.24.3, and 1.25.x before 1.25.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via unspecified vectors.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in thumb.php in MediaWiki before 1.23.10, 1.24.x before 1.24.3, and 1.25.x before 1.25.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the f parameter, which is not properly handled in an error page, related to "ForeignAPI images."
The CleanChanges extension for MediaWiki before 1.19.9, 1.20.x before 1.20.8, and 1.21.x before 1.21.3, when "Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist" is enabled, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (revision-deleted IPs) via the Recent Changes page.
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in MediaWiki 1.17.x before 1.17.3 and 1.18.x before 1.18.2 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users with the block permission for requests that (1) block a user via a request to the Block module or (2) unblock a user via a request to the Unblock module.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.16.4, when Internet Explorer 6 or earlier is used, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an uploaded file accessed with a dangerous extension such as .html located before a ? (question mark) in a query string, in conjunction with a modified URI path that has a %2E sequence in place of the . (dot) character. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1578.
The checkCss function in includes/Sanitizer.php in the wikitext parser in MediaWiki before 1.16.3 does not properly validate Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequences, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or obtain sensitive information by using the \2f\2a and \2a\2f hex strings to surround CSS comments.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.16.3, when Internet Explorer 6 or earlier is used, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an uploaded file accessed with a dangerous extension such as .html at the end of the query string, in conjunction with a modified URI path that has a %2E sequence in place of the . (dot) character.
MediaWiki: Two security fixes in v1.15.2
MediaWiki before 1.15.2 does not prevent wiki editors from linking to images from other web sites in wiki pages, which allows editors to obtain IP addresses and other information of wiki users by adding a link to an image on an attacker-controlled web site, aka "CSS validation issue."
MediaWiki: Two security fixes in v1.15.2
thumb.php in MediaWiki before 1.15.2, when used with access-restriction mechanisms such as img_auth.php, does not check user permissions before providing scaled images, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and read private images via unspecified manipulations.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MediaWiki 1.15 before 1.15.4 and 1.16 before 1.16 beta 3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) strings that are processed as script by Internet Explorer.
includes/resourceloader/ResourceLoaderContext.php in MediaWiki 1.19.x before 1.19.8, 1.20.x before 1.20.7, and 1.21.x before 1.21.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a "<" (open angle bracket) character in the lang parameter to w/load.php, which reveals the installation path in an error message.
(1) ApiBlock.php, (2) ApiCreateAccount.php, (3) ApiLogin.php, (4) ApiMain.php, (5) ApiQueryDeletedrevs.php, (6) ApiTokens.php, and (7) ApiUnblock.php in includes/api/ in MediaWiki 1.19.x before 1.19.8, 1.20.x before 1.20.7, and 1.21.x before 1.21.2 allow remote attackers to obtain CSRF tokens and bypass the cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection mechanism via a JSONP request to wiki/api.php.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pages/TalkpageHistoryView.php in the LiquidThreads (LQT) extension 2.x and possibly 3.x for MediaWiki 1.19.x before 1.19.8, 1.20.x before 1.20.7, and 1.21.x before 1.21.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a thread subject.
Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in Sanitizer::checkCss in MediaWiki before 1.19.9, 1.20.x before 1.20.8, and 1.21.x before 1.21.3 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a \b (backspace) character in CSS.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the login interface in MediaWiki 1.15 before 1.15.4 and 1.16 before 1.16 beta 3 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that (1) create accounts or (2) reset passwords, related to the Special:Userlogin form.
v.1.15.3: Login CSRF
MediaWiki before 1.15.3, and 1.6.x before 1.16.0beta2, does not properly handle a correctly authenticated but unintended login attempt, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct phishing attacks by arranging for a victim to login to the attacker's account and then execute a crafted user script, related to a "login CSRF" issue.
MediaWiki before 1.17.1 allows remote attackers to obtain the page titles of all restricted pages via a series of requests involving the (1) curid or (2) oldid parameter.
