    CVE-2008-5250 (CCN-47386)

    Updated:2008-12-15
    Summary:MediaWiki is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by certain SVG scripts. If SVG uploads are enabled, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using an unknown parameter to inject malicious script into a Web page that would be executed in a victim's SVG-enabled Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
