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

  - The full installation path is disclosed in an error
    message when an invalid language is specified in the
    ResourceLoader. (CVE-2013-4301)

  - Multiple cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities
    exist in the API modules accessed through JSONP.
    (CVE-2013-4302)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists because
    input submitted to the property name is not properly
    sanitized. (CVE-2013-4303)

Additionally, the following extensions contain vulnerabilities but
are not enabled or installed by default (unless otherwise noted) :

  - Authentication can be bypassed in the CentralAuth
    extension by manipulating the 'centralauth_User' cookie.
    (CVE-2013-4304)

  - The SyntaxHighlight GeSHi extension is affected by a
    cross-site scripting vulnerability because user input is
    not properly sanitized when submitted to the
    'example.php' script. This extension is installed but
    not enabled by default on MediaWiki 1.21.x.
    (CVE-2013-4305)

  - The CheckUser extension is affected by a cross-site
    request forgery vulnerability because it does not
    properly validate HTTP requests. (CVE-2013-4306)

  - The Wikibase extension is affected by a cross-site
    scripting vulnerability because it does not properly
    escape the labels in the 'In other languages' section of 
    entity view. (CVE-2013-4307)

  - The LiquidThreads extensions is affected by a cross-site
    scripting vulnerability because it does not properly
    sanitize user input submitted to the LQT thread subject.
    (CVE-2013-4308)

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