A vulnerability has been reported in MediaWiki, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks. The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. force a victim into executing malicious javascript. Successful exploitation requires “$wgAllowUserJs” to be set to “true” in LocalSettings.php.
