An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2012-2698 exists.\n\nAffected product: Mediawiki Mediawiki. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2698/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2698/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2698","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2698/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2698","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-2698","GHSA-m9wp-hhqp-ww9j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MediaWiki","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the uselang parameter, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"mediawiki","vendor":"mediawiki"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the outputPage function in includes/SkinTemplate.php in MediaWiki before 1.17.5, 1.18.x before 1.18.4, and 1.19.x before 1.19.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the uselang parameter to index.php/Main_page.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-06-17","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-06-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"37404","stars":null,"title":"MediaWiki 1.x - 'uselang' Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2698","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mediawiki:mediawiki","products":["mediawiki:mediawiki"],"type":"xss","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":13,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2702"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2697"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-06-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-37303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-29904","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-29906","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28205","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28206","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28209","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-36126","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the uselang parameter, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2698/"}
