 Package : mediawiki Version : 1:1.31.16-1+deb10u3 CVE ID : CVE-2021-44856 CVE-2022-28201 CVE-2022-28202 CVE-2022-28203 CVE-2022-34911 CVE-2022-34912

 Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in mediawiki, a website engine for collaborative work. Insufficiently escaped input text may allow a malicious user to perform cross-site-scripting (XSS) attacks.

 For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.31.16-1+deb10u3.

 We recommend that you upgrade your mediawiki packages.
