The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-30a7a812f0 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. The REST API publicly caches results from private wikis. (CVE-2021-44854)

  • An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. There is Blind Stored XSS via a URL to the Upload Image feature. (CVE-2021-44855)

  • An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. A title blocked by AbuseFilter can be created via Special:ChangeContentModel due to the mishandling of the EditFilterMergedContent hook return value. (CVE-2021-44856)

  • An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.8, 1.36.x and 1.37.x before 1.37.5, and 1.38.x before 1.38.3. HTMLUserTextField exposes the existence of hidden users. (CVE-2022-41765)

  • An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.8, 1.36.x and 1.37.x before 1.37.5, and 1.38.x before 1.38.3. When changes made by an IP address are reassigned to a user (using reassignEdits.php), the changes will still be attributed to the IP address on Special:Contributions when doing a range lookup.
    (CVE-2022-41767)

  • An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.9, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.5, and 1.39.x before 1.39.1. When installing with a pre-existing data directory that has weak permissions, the SQLite files are created with file mode 0644, i.e., world readable to local users. These files include credentials data.
    (CVE-2022-47927)

  • An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.9, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.5, and 1.39.x before 1.39.1. SpecialMobileHistory allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service because database queries are slow. (CVE-2023-22909)

  • An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.9, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.5, and 1.39.x before 1.39.1. E-Widgets does widget replacement in HTML attributes, which can lead to XSS, because widget authors often do not expect that their widget is executed in an HTML attribute context. (CVE-2023-22911)

  • In the GrowthExperiments extension for MediaWiki through 1.39, the growthmanagementorlist API allows blocked users (blocked in ApiManageMentorList) to enroll as mentors or edit any of their mentorship- related properties. (CVE-2023-22945)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
