    Package        : mediawiki     Version        : 1:1.31.16-1+deb10u7     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-3550 CVE-2023-45362 CVE-2023-45363

    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in mediawiki, a website engine for     collaborative work, that could lead to information disclosure, privilege     escalation, or denial of service.

    CVE-2023-3550

        Carlos Bello reported a stored cross-site scripting (XSS)         vulnerability when uploading crafted XML file to Special:Upload,         which can lead to privilege escalation.  (However .xml file uploads         are not allowed in the default configuration.)

    CVE-2023-45362

        Tobias Frei discovered that diff-multi-sameuser (X intermediate         revisions by the same user not shown) ignores username suppression,         which can lead to information leak.

    CVE-2023-45363

        It was discovered that querying pages redirected to other variants         with `redirects` and `converttitles` parameters set would cause         a denial of service (unbounded loop and RequestTimeoutException).

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1:1.31.16-1+deb10u7.

    We recommend that you upgrade your mediawiki packages.
