Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-5242 is a MediaWiki cross-site scripting issue. An attacker could make an affected wiki serve attacker-controlled script or HTML in a browser. Business impact depends on who uses the wiki; exposed or staff-used wikis could risk account actions, session exposure, or misleading content. Exposure is limited to MediaWiki deployments running affected 1.22.x or 1.23.x versions. Public internet-facing wikis and internal wikis used by privileged staff deserve priority. The provided sources do not identify other products as affected. Address during normal vulnerability remediation, faster for internet-facing or administrator-used wikis. The issue is old and fixed, but unpatched legacy MediaWiki can still create user-session and content-integrity risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MediaWiki 1.22.x to 1.22.9 or later.; Upgrade MediaWiki 1.23.x to 1.23.2 or later.; Apply official vendor or distribution security updates where packaged MediaWiki is used..
