Discussion

MediaWiki 'config/index.php' Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

MediaWiki is prone to multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials; other attacks are also possible.

Versions prior to MediaWiki 1.13.3, 1.12.1, and 1.6.11 are vulnerable.
