The admin API module in the QuizGame extension for MediaWiki through 1.37.2 (before 665e33a68f6fa1167df99c0aa18ed0157cdf9f66) omits a check for the quizadmin user.
The CreateRedirect extension before 2022-04-14 for MediaWiki does not properly check whether the user has permissions to edit the target page. This could lead to an unauthorised (or blocked) user being able to edit a page.
An XSS issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.6, 1.36.x before 1.36.4, and 1.37.x before 1.37.2. The widthheight, widthheightpage, and nbytes properties of messages are not escaped when used in galleries or Special:RevisionDelete.
MediaWiki before 1.23.16, 1.24.x through 1.27.x before 1.27.2, and 1.28.x before 1.28.1 allows remote attackers to discover the IP addresses of Wiki visitors via a style="background-image: attr(title url);" attack within a DIV element that has an attacker-controlled URL in the title attribute.
ShortDescription is a MediaWiki extension that provides local short description support. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2.3.4. On a wiki that has the ShortDescription enabled, XSS can be triggered on any page or the page with the action=info parameter, which displays the shortdesc property. This is achieved using the wikitext `{{SHORTDESC:<img src=x onerror=alert()>}}`. This issue has a patch in version 2.3.4.
An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. Special:CheckUserLog allows CheckUser XSS because of date mishandling, as demonstrated by an XSS payload in MediaWiki:October.
