CVE-2015-8625: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2015-8625: MediaWiki before 1.23.12, 1.24.x before 1.24.5, 1.25.x before 1.25.4, and 1.26.x before 1.26.1 do not prope...

MediaWiki before 1.23.12, 1.24.x before 1.24.5, 1.25.x before 1.25.4, and 1.26.x before 1.26.1 do not properly sanitize parameters when calling the cURL library, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an @ (at sign) character in unspecified POST array parameters.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affected older MediaWiki releases and could let a remote attacker make the server read local files through unsafe cURL parameter handling. For public wikis, that raises confidentiality risk because server-side files may contain sensitive configuration or operational data. Exposure is most likely on internet-facing MediaWiki instances running versions before 1.23.12, 1.24.x before 1.24.5, 1.25.x before 1.25.4, or 1.26.x before 1.26.1. Prioritize remediation for public or sensitive internal MediaWiki systems. The issue is old, but arbitrary file read can expose configuration secrets, credentials, or operational data if vulnerable systems remain online. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected MediaWiki branches to the fixed versions named in the security release.; Move unsupported MediaWiki deployments to a currently supported release line.; Review the MediaWiki advisory and Phabricator task for branch-specific guidance..
