  - 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. (CVE-2023-29141)

  - An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.11, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.7, and 1.39.x     before 1.39.4. BlockLogFormatter.php in BlockLogFormatter allows XSS in the partial blocks feature.
    (CVE-2023-36675)

  - Mediawiki reports: (T335203, CVE-2023-29197) Upgrade guzzlehttp/psr7 to >= 1.9.1/2.4.5. (T335612,     CVE-2023-36674) Manualthumb bypasses badFile lookup. (T332889, CVE-2023-36675) XSS in BlockLogFormatter     due to unsafe message             use. (CVE-2023-36674)

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

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 95dad123-180e-11ee-86ba-080027eda32c advisory.

  - guzzlehttp/psr7 is a PSR-7 HTTP message library implementation in PHP. Affected versions are subject to     improper header parsing. An attacker could sneak in a newline (\n) into both the header names and values.
    While the specification states that \r\n\r\n is used to terminate the header list, many servers in the     wild will also accept \n\n. This is a follow-up to CVE-2022-24775 where the fix was incomplete. The issue     has been patched in versions 1.9.1 and 2.4.5. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. Users     are advised to upgrade. (CVE-2023-29197)

  - An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.11, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.7, 1.39.x before     1.39.4, and 1.40.x before 1.40.1. It is possible to bypass the Bad image list (aka badFile) by using the     thumb parameter (aka Manualthumb) of the File syntax. (CVE-2023-36674)

  - An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.11, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.7, and 1.39.x     before 1.39.4. BlockLogFormatter.php in BlockLogFormatter allows XSS in the partial blocks feature.
