Cross-Site Scripting in WikiDiscover
Summary
Cross-Site Scripting in WikiDiscover
Original description
The description as published by the source.
WikiDiscover is an extension designed for use with a CreateWiki managed farm to display wikis. On Special:WikiDiscover, the Language::date function is used when making the human-readable timestamp for inclusion on the wiki_creation column. This function uses interface messages to translate the names of months and days. It uses the ->text() output mode, returning unescaped interface messages. Since the output is not escaped later, the unescaped interface message is included on the output, resulting in an XSS vulnerability. Exploiting this on-wiki requires the (editinterface) right. This vulnerability has been addressed in commit 267e763a0. Users are advised to update their installations. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
