Citizen is a MediaWiki skin that makes extensions part of the cohesive experience. The page `MediaWiki:Tagline` has its contents used unescaped, so custom HTML (including Javascript) can be injected by someone with the ability to edit the MediaWiki namespace (typically those with the `editinterface` permission, or sysops). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.16.0.

CreateWiki is Miraheze's MediaWiki extension for requesting & creating wikis. It is possible for users to be considered as the requester of a specific wiki request if their local user ID on any wiki in a wiki farm matches the local ID of the requester at the wiki where the wiki request was made. This allows them to go to that request entry's on Special:RequestWikiQueue on the wiki where their local user ID matches and take any actions that the wiki requester is allowed to take from there. Commit 02e0f298f8d35155c39aa74193cb7b867432c5b8 fixes the issue. Important note about the fix: This vulnerability has been fixed by disabling access to the REST API and special pages outside of the wiki configured as the "global wiki" in `$wgCreateWikiGlobalWiki` in a user's MediaWiki settings. As a workaround, it is possible to disable the special pages outside of one's own global wiki by doing something similar to `miraheze/mw-config` commit e5664995fbb8644f9a80b450b4326194f20f9ddc that is adapted to one's own setup. As for the REST API, before the fix, there wasn't any REST endpoint that allowed one to make writes. Regardless, it is possible to also disable it outside of the global wiki by using `$wgCreateWikiDisableRESTAPI` and `$wgConf` in the configuration for one's own wiki farm..

An issue was discovered in includes/CommentFormatter/CommentParser.php in MediaWiki before 1.39.7, 1.40.x before 1.40.3, and 1.41.x before 1.41.1. XSS can occur because of mishandling of the 0x1b character, as demonstrated by Special:RecentChanges#%1b0000000.

An issue was discovered in includes/specials/SpecialMovePage.php in MediaWiki before 1.39.7, 1.40.x before 1.40.3, and 1.41.x before 1.41.1. If a user with the necessary rights to move the page opens Special:MovePage for a page with tens of thousands of subpages, then the page will exceed the maximum request time, leading to a denial of service.

An issue was discovered in WikibaseLexeme in MediaWiki before 1.39.6, 1.40.x before 1.40.2, and 1.41.x before 1.41.1. Loading Special:MergeLexemes will (attempt to) make an edit that merges the from-id to the to-id, even if the request was not a POST request, and even if it does not contain an edit token.

An issue was discovered in the UnlinkedWikibase extension in MediaWiki before 1.39.6, 1.40.x before 1.40.2, and 1.41.x before 1.41.1. XSS can occur through an interface message. Error messages (in the $err var) are not escaped before being passed to Html::rawElement() in the getError() function in the Hooks class.

CreateWiki is Miraheze's MediaWiki extension for requesting & creating wikis. An oversight during the writing of the patch for CVE-2024-29897 may have exposed suppressed wiki requests to private wikis that added Special:RequestWikiQueue to the read whitelist to users without the `(read)` permission. This vulnerability is fixed in 8f8442ed5299510ea3e58416004b9334134c149c.

CreateWiki is Miraheze's MediaWiki extension for requesting & creating wikis. It is possible for users with (delete) or (suppressrevision) on any wiki in the farm to access suppressed wiki requests by going to the request's entry on Special:RequestWikiQueue on the wiki where they have these rights. The same vulnerability was present briefly on the REST API before being quickly corrected in commit `6bc0685`. To our knowledge, the vulnerable commits of the REST API are not running in production anywhere. This vulnerability is fixed in 23415c17ffb4832667c06abcf1eadadefd4c8937.

An issue was discovered in the Cargo extension for MediaWiki through 1.39.3. There is mishandling of backticks to smartSplit.

CreateWiki is Miraheze's MediaWiki extension for requesting & creating wikis. Suppression of wiki requests does not work as intended, and always restricts visibility to those with the `(createwiki)` user right regardless of the settings one sets on a given wiki request. This may expose information to users who are not supposed to be able to access it.
