According to its version number, the instance of MediaWiki running on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
Escape sequences are not properly sanitized when passed to the ‘Sanitizer::checkCss’ class, which allows a remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
(CVE-2013-6451)
An input validation error exists in the ‘XmlTypeCheck.php’ script in uploaded SVG files that contain external style sheets, which allows a remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
(CVE-2013-6452)
Input validation by the checkSvgScriptCallback() function is bypassed in the ‘UploadBase.php’ script when an SVG file with invalid XML is uploaded. This can result in malicious code execution. (CVE-2013-6453)
An input validation error exists in the ‘Sanitizer.php’ script when input is submitted to the ‘-o-link’ attribute, which allows cross-site scripting attacks in Opera 12. (CVE-2013-6454)
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the log API, Enhanced Recent Changes feature, and users’ watchlists that allows deleted log entries to be viewed.
(CVE-2013-6472)
Additionally, the following extensions contain vulnerabilities but are not enabled or installed by default (unless otherwise noted) :
The TimedMediaHandler extension is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to the lack of input validation of the ‘data-videopayload’ attribute in the ‘mw.PopUpThumbVideo.js’ script. (CVE-2013-4574)
The Scribuntu extension is affected by a NULL pointer dereference and buffer overflow flaw in the implementation of the ‘luasandbox’ PHP extension that can lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-4570, CVE-2013-4571)
The CentralAuth extension is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to the insertion of a username into the page’s DOM. (CVE-2013-6455)
The Semantic Forms extension is affected by a cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability due to the lack of token validation in the ‘Special:CreateCategory’ page.
(CVE-2014-3454)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the application’s self-reported version number.
