    Multiple security issues were discovered in MediaWiki, a website engine     for collaborative work, which could result in information disclosure,     code execution via unsafe deserialisation or cross-site scripting.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1:1.43.9+dfsg-1~deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your mediawiki packages.
