"According to its version number, the instance of MediaWiki running on
the remote host is affected by multiple security vulnerabilities :

  - A stored cross-site scripting (HTML injection)
    vulnerability exists because the application fails to
    sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input submitted to
    the 'File:' tag of a non-existing image through
    comments. (CVE-2012-4377)

  - Multiple DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerabilities 
    exist because the application fails to sufficiently 
    sanitize user-supplied input to the 'uselang' parameter 
    and JavaScript gadgets on various language Wikipedias. 
    (CVE-2012-4378)

  - A cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability
    exists because the application fails to properly
    validate requests when X-Frame-Options headers are
    used. (CVE-2012-4379)

  - A security-bypass vulnerability exists because the
    application fails to prevent the account creation for IP
    addresses blocked with the 'GlobalBlocking' extension.
    (CVE-2012-4380)

  - A security-bypass vulnerability exists because the
    application fails to prevent the use of old passwords in
    the external authentication system for non-existing
    accounts. (CVE-2012-4381)

  - An information disclosure occurs when an admin attempts
    to block a user who has already been blocked. This
    discloses the block reason to the second admin,
    regardless of the admin's privileges. (CVE-2012-4382)

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