Summary:MediaWiki is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input when handling X-Frame-Options by the ApiFormatBase.php and DefaultSettings.php scripts. By persuading an authenticated user to visit a malicious Web site, a remote attacker could send a malformed HTTP request to perform unauthorized actions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site scripting attacks, Web cache poisoning, and other malicious activities.
