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-2025-53488 exists.\n\nAffected product: Wikimedia Foundation Mediawiki - WikiHiero Extension. 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-2025-53488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53488/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53488","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4fx8-qmwg-rwqv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MediaWiki extension","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Stored XSS in WikiHiero allows attackers to inject scripts, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"wikimedia-foundation","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Wikimedia Foundation Mediawiki - WikiHiero Extension allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Mediawiki - WikiHiero Extension: from 1.43.X before 1.43.2.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Stored XSS in WikiHiero","id":"CVE-2025-53488","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"XSS in GoogleDocs4MW","id":"CVE-2025-53489"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ApprovedRevs: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via unsanitized system messages","id":"CVE-2025-53487"},"products":["Mediawiki - WikiHiero Extension"],"published":"2025-07-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-10","vendors":["Wikimedia Foundation"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in WikiHiero allows attackers to inject scripts, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53488/"}
