Publication date: 06 Jun 2014
Modification date: 09 Jul 2015
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 3 , 4
CVE: CVE-2014-3966

Description

XSS vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.22.7, due to usernames on
Special:PasswordReset being parsed as wikitext. The username on
Special:PasswordReset can be supplied by anyone and will be parsed
with wgRawHtml enabled. Since Special:PasswordReset is whitelisted
by default on private wikis, this could potentially lead to an XSS
crossing a privilege boundary (CVE-2014-3966).
