An issue was discovered in ApiPageSet.php in MediaWiki before 1.35.12, 1.36.x through 1.39.x before 1.39.5, and 1.40.x before 1.40.1. It allows attackers to cause a denial of service (unbounded loop and RequestTimeoutException) when querying pages redirected to other variants with redirects and converttitles set.
An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.10, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.6, and 1.39.x before 1.39.3. An auto-block can occur for an untrusted X-Forwarded-For header.
Wikimedia MediaWiki 1.27.0 through 1.32.1 might allow DoS. Passing invalid titles to the API could cause a DoS by querying the entire watchlist table. Fixed in 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2 and 1.27.6.
An Incorrect Access Control vulnerability was found in Wikimedia MediaWiki 1.27.0 through 1.32.1. Directly POSTing to Special:ChangeEmail would allow for bypassing re-authentication, allowing for potential account takeover.

Wikimedia MediaWiki through 1.32.1 has Incorrect Access Control. Suppressed log in RevisionDelete page is exposed. Fixed in 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2 and 1.27.6.
Wikimedia MediaWiki 1.23.0 through 1.32.1 has an information leak. Privileged API responses that include whether a recent change has been patrolled may be cached publicly. Fixed in 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2 and 1.27.6.
MediaWiki through 1.33.1 allows attackers to bypass the title denylist protection mechanism by starting with an arbitrary title, establishing a non-resolvable redirect for the associated page, and using redirect=1 in the action API when editing that page.
An issue was discovered in the OATHAuth extension in MediaWiki before 1.31.9 and 1.32.x through 1.34.x before 1.34.3. For Wikis using OATHAuth on a farm/cluster (such as via CentralAuth), rate limiting of OATH tokens is only done on a single site level. Thus, multiple requests can be made across many wikis/sites concurrently.
In MediaWiki before 1.31.9 and 1.32.x through 1.34.x before 1.34.3, Special:UserRights exposes the existence of hidden users.
resources/src/mediawiki.page.ready/ready.js in MediaWiki before 1.34.0-rc.0 allows remote attackers to force a logout and external redirection via HTML content in a MediaWiki page.
In MediaWiki through 1.33.0, Special:Redirect allows information disclosure of suppressed usernames via a User ID Lookup.
An Incorrect Access Control vulnerability was found in Wikimedia MediaWiki 1.18.0 through 1.32.1. It is possible to bypass the limits on IP range blocks ($wgBlockCIDRLimit) by using the API. Fixed in 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2 and 1.27.6.
MediaWiki through 1.32.1 has Incorrect Access Control (issue 1 of 3). A spammer can use Special:ChangeEmail to send out spam with no rate limiting or ability to block them. Fixed in 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2 and 1.27.6.

An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.31.9 and 1.32.x through 1.34.x before 1.34.3. The non-jqueryMsg version of mw.message().parse() doesn't escape HTML. This affects both message contents (which are generally safe) and the parameters (which can be based on user input). (When jqueryMsg is loaded, it correctly accepts only allowlisted tags in message contents, and escapes all parameters. Situations with an unloaded jqueryMsg are rare in practice, but can for …
An issue was discovered in MediaWiki 1.34.x before 1.34.3. On Special:Contributions, the NS filter uses unescaped messages as keys in the option key for an HTMLForm specifier. This is vulnerable to a mild XSS if one of those messages is changed to include raw HTML.
An issue was discovered in MediaWiki 1.32.x through 1.34.x before 1.34.4. LogEventList::getFiltersDesc is insecurely using message text to build options names for an HTML multi-select field. The relevant code should use escaped() instead of text().
In MediaWiki before 1.31.9 and 1.32.x through 1.34.x before 1.34.3, XSS related to jQuery can occur. The attacker creates a message with [javascript:payload xss] and turns it into a jQuery object with mw.message().parse(). The expected result is that the jQuery object does not contain an tag (or it does not have a href attribute, or it's empty, etc.). The actual result is that the object contains an <a href ="javascript… …
Wikimedia MediaWiki 1.30.0 through 1.32.1 has XSS. Loading user JavaScript from a non-existent account allows anyone to create the account, and perform XSS on users loading that script. Fixed in 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2 and 1.27.6.
In MediaWiki before 1.31.8, 1.32.x and 1.33.x before 1.33.4, and 1.34.x before 1.34.2, private wikis behind a caching server using the img_auth.php image authorization security feature may have had their files cached publicly, so any unauthorized user could view them. This occurs because Cache-Control and Vary headers were mishandled.
MediaWiki before 1.36.2 allows a denial of service (resource consumption because of lengthy query processing time). Visiting Special:Contributions can sometimes result in a long running SQL query because PoolCounter protection is mishandled.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in includes/actions/InfoAction.php in MediaWiki before 1.21.9 and 1.22.x before 1.22.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the sort key in an info action.
