According to its version number, the instance of MediaWiki running on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
Input validation errors exist that allow cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-4567, CVE-2013-4568)
An error exists related to session IDs and HTTP headers that allows an information disclosure. (CVE-2013-4572)
Additionally, the following extensions contain vulnerabilities but are not enabled or installed by default (unless otherwise noted) :
An input validation error exists related to the ‘CentralAuth’ extension that allows cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. (CVE-2012-5394)
An error exists in the ‘CleanChanges’ extension that allows an information disclosure related to ‘revision-deleted’ IP addresses. (CVE-2013-4569)
An input validation error exists in the ‘ZeroRatedMobileAccess’ extension that allows cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-4573)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the application’s self-reported version number.
