Id Description
52034 MediaWiki Installer config/index.php Unspecified Parameter XSS

MediaWiki contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate unspecified parameters upon submission to the config/index.php script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
