Category:Web application abuses
Title:MediaWiki Multiple Vulnerabilities (Sep 2015) - Linux
Summary:MediaWiki is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
MediaWiki is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple flaws exist due to:

- the Special:DeletedContributions page allows remote attackers to determine if an IP is autoblocked via the 'Change block' text.

- the ApiBase::getWatchlistUser function does not perform token comparison in constant time,
which allows remote attackers to guess the watchlist token and bypass CSRF protection via a timing attack.

- Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in thumb.php via the rel404 parameter, which is not properly handled in an error page.

- Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in thumb.php via the f parameter, which is not properly handled in an error page, related to 'ForeignAPI images.'

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation will allow remote attackers to conduct XSS attacks, gain access to sensitive information and
have other some unspecified impact.

Affected Software/OS:
MediaWiki before 1.23.10, 1.24.x before 1.24.3,
and 1.25.x before 1.25.2

Solution:
Upgrade to version 1.23.10 or 1.24.3
or 1.25.2 or later.
