Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.804166
Category:Web application abuses
Title:MediaWiki < 1.19.8, 1.20.x < 1.20.7, 1.21.x < 1.21.2 Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities (Dec 2013) - Active Check
Summary:MediaWiki is prone to multiple information disclosure; vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
MediaWiki is prone to multiple information disclosure
vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
The flaws are due to:

- An error within the 'tokens', 'unblock', 'login', 'createaccount', and 'block' API calls that
can be exploited to disclose the CSRF token value.

- The application discloses the full installation path in an error message when an invalid
language is specified in ResourceLoader to 'load.php' script.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation will allow remote attackers to obtain
CSRF tokens, bypass the cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection mechanism and gain knowledge
on sensitive directories on the remote web server via requests.

Affected Software/OS:
MediaWiki versions 1.19.x prior to 1.19.8, 1.20.x prior to
1.20.7 and 1.21.x prior to 1.21.2.

Solution:
Update to version 1.19.8, 1.20.7, 1.21.2 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0
