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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy MediaWiki issue where a malicious site could abuse a logged-in editor’s browser to trigger unsafe preview handling, potentially causing cross-site scripting. Exposure is limited to affected MediaWiki versions with $wgRawHTML enabled, but that setting increases impact because raw HTML is intentionally allowed. Likely exposure is old MediaWiki installations running affected versions with $wgRawHTML set to true. Systems without that configuration, without exposed authenticated editing workflows, or already upgraded to the named security releases are less likely exposed based on the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy-platform risk requiring prompt validation, not an internet-wide emergency. Highest priority is any public or partner-facing MediaWiki instance that is old, permits editing by many users, and has raw HTML enabled. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MediaWiki to 1.19.22, 1.22.14, 1.23.7, or a later supported release.; Review whether $wgRawHTML is enabled and disable it unless operationally required.; Check Wikimedia and MediaWiki vendor guidance for any branch-specific remediation details..
