Technical details

A Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in MediaWiki within the SpecialBlock.Vue component (resources/src/mediawiki.Special.Block/SpecialBlock.Vue). The flaw stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation. An attacker with high privileges (PR:H) can exploit this over the network, though it requires some level of user interaction (UI:P). Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session. The vulnerability affects versions starting from 1.46.0-rc.0 and is addressed in version 1.46.0.

Affected products
