Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-2940 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2015-2940/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2940/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-2940","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2940/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-2940","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-2940","GHSA-g77q-mpv6-8w22"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MediaWiki CheckUser extension","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A CSRF vulnerability in the MediaWiki CheckUser extension allows attackers to hijack user sessions and retrieve sensitive information.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"checkuser","vendor":"mediawiki"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the CheckUser extension for MediaWiki allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of certain users for requests that retrieve sensitive user information via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2940","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2941"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2939"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-04-13","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-18611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-29"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16529","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-19"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Suggested investigations: Handle suppressed usernames","id":"CVE-2026-34090","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-11"},{"cvss_score":1.3,"headline":"Special:GlobalContributions shows edits on wikis the viewer doesn't have access to","id":"CVE-2025-61658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-03"},{"cvss_score":0,"headline":"Stored XSS through system messages in CheckUser","id":"CVE-2025-61648","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-03"},{"cvss_score":0,"headline":"i18n XSS through Special:CheckUser CheckUser helper","id":"CVE-2025-61651","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-03"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A CSRF vulnerability in the MediaWiki CheckUser extension allows attackers to hijack user sessions and retrieve sensitive information.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2940/"}
