MediaWiki: Cross-site scripting vulnerability MediaWiki is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack that could allow arbitrary scripting code execution. mediawiki 2005-06-13 2005-06-13 95255 remote 1.4.5 1.3.13 1.4.5

MediaWiki is a collaborative editing software, used by big projects like Wikipedia.

MediaWiki incorrectly handles page template inclusions, rendering it vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script code that will be executed in a user's browser session in the context of the vulnerable site.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All MediaWiki users should upgrade to the latest available versions:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose www-apps/mediawiki
