MediaWiki < 1.39.12 Multiple Vulnerabilities

low Web App Scanning Plugin ID 115341

Synopsis

MediaWiki < 1.39.12 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of MediaWiki hosted on the remote web server is prior to 1.39.12, 1.42.x prior to 1.42.6 or 1.43.x prior to 1.43.1. It is, therefore, affected by a number of vulnerabilities as follows.

- Improper restrictions on the file revert action. (CVE-2025-32696)

- PermissionManager fails to differentiate between cascading protection sources, allowing an unauthorized user to edit protected pages. (CVE-2025-32697)

- LogPager restriction enforcement functions do not properly restrict access to suppressed log entries. (CVE-2025-32698)

- Potential JavaScript injection via Unicode normalization enabling XSS attacks. (CVE-2025-32699)

- An i18n XSS vulnerability in HTMLMultiSelectField with sections. (CVE-2025-3469)

- AbuseFilter log interfaces expose private/hidden filters when they should be restricted. (CVE-2025-32700)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MediaWiki version 1.39.12 or later.
