MediaWiki before 1.23.11, 1.24.x before 1.24.4, and 1.25.x before 1.25.3 uses the thumbnail ImageMagick command line argument, which allows remote attackers to obtain the installation path by reading the metadata of a PNG thumbnail file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue lets a remote user learn the server’s MediaWiki installation path from metadata in generated PNG thumbnails. It is information disclosure, not direct system takeover. The business concern is that leaked paths can help attackers refine later attacks against old MediaWiki deployments. Exposure is most likely on public MediaWiki installations running the affected versions and serving generated PNG thumbnails. The source bundle does not identify affected downstream distributions, hosted services, or specific configurations beyond MediaWiki version ranges. Treat as a low-urgency remediation unless the affected wiki is internet-facing, high-profile, or already running unsupported MediaWiki. Upgrade during the normal security maintenance cycle, with faster action for exposed legacy systems. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MediaWiki to 1.23.11, 1.24.4, 1.25.3, or later supported releases.; Review the Wikimedia security release advisory for version-specific guidance.; Prioritize public internet-facing MediaWiki instances first..
