Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in MediaWiki before 1.4.9 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) <math> tags or (2) Extension or <nowiki> sections that "bypass HTML style attribute restrictions" that are intended to protect against XSS vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer clients.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old MediaWiki XSS issue affecting versions before 1.4.9. An attacker could place script or HTML in certain wiki markup areas, potentially affecting users who view the page, especially Internet Explorer clients referenced by the CVE. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy MediaWiki deployments running before 1.4.9, particularly public or user-editable wikis that allow affected markup features. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item. Prioritize quickly if any affected wiki is internet-facing, business-critical, or allows untrusted users to edit content. Mitigation focus: Identify all MediaWiki instances and confirm exact versions.; Upgrade MediaWiki instances below 1.4.9 following vendor guidance.; Review enabled extensions and markup handling for legacy compatibility risks..
