Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Special:ExpandedTemplates page in MediaWiki before 1.19.22, 1.20.x through 1.22.x before 1.22.14, and 1.23.x before 1.23.7, when $wgRawHTML is set to true, allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users with edit permissions for requests that cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the wpInput parameter, which is not properly handled in the preview.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the preview in the ExpandTemplates extension for MediaWiki, when $wgRawHTML is set to true, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the wpInput parameter to the Special:ExpandTemplates page.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the preview in the TemplateSandbox extension for MediaWiki allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the text parameter to Special:TemplateSandbox.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Hovercards extension for MediaWiki allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to text extracts.

MediaWiki 1.21.x, 1.22.x before 1.22.14, and 1.23.x before 1.23.7, when $wgContentHandlerUseDB is enabled, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by setting the content model for a revision to JS.

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in includes/upload/UploadBase.php in MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an application/xml MIME type for a nested SVG with a data: URI.

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an animated href XLink element.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Html class in MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a LanguageConverter substitution string when using a language variant.

MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2 does not properly handle when the Zend interpreter xml_parse function does not expand entities, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted SVG file.

MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2 allows remote attackers to bypass the SVG filtering and obtain sensitive user information via a mixed case @import in a style element in an SVG file, as demonstrated by "@imporT."

MediaWiki 1.24.x before 1.24.2, when using PBKDF2 for password hashing, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long password.

MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2, when using HHVM or Zend PHP, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service ("quadratic blowup" and memory consumption) via an XML file containing an entity declaration with long replacement text and many references to this entity, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-2942.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a custom JavaScript file, which is not properly handled when previewing the file.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Scribunto extension for MediaWiki allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a function name, which is not properly handled in a Lua error backtrace.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the CheckUser extension for MediaWiki allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of certain users for requests that retrieve sensitive user information via unspecified vectors.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2, when using HHVM, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an invalid parameter in a wddx format request to api.php, which is not properly handled in an error message, related to unsafe calls to wddx_serialize_value.

MediaWiki before 1.19.24, 1.2x before 1.23.9, and 1.24.x before 1.24.2, when using HHVM, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via a large number of nested entity references in an (1) SVG file or (2) XMP metadata in a PDF file, aka a "billion laughs attack," a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-2937.

The Special:DeletedContributions page in MediaWiki before 1.23.10, 1.24.x before 1.24.3, and 1.25.x before 1.25.2 allows remote attackers to determine if an IP is autoblocked via the "Change block" text.

The ApiBase::getWatchlistUser function in MediaWiki before 1.23.10, 1.24.x before 1.24.3, and 1.25.x before 1.25.2 does not perform token comparison in constant time, which allows remote attackers to guess the watchlist token and bypass CSRF protection via a timing attack.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in thumb.php in MediaWiki before 1.23.10, 1.24.x before 1.24.3, and 1.25.x before 1.25.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the rel404 parameter, which is not properly handled in an error page.
