CVE-2022-34911
XSS can occur in configurations that allow a JavaScript payload in a username.
MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 1.05%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.05%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.7, 1.36.x and 1.37.x before 1.37.3, and 1.38.x before 1.38.1. XSS can occur in configurations that allow a JavaScript payload in a username. After account creation, when it sets the page title to "Welcome" followed by the username, the username is not escaped: SpecialCreateAccount::successfulAction() calls ::showSuccessPage() with a message as second parameter, and OutputPage::setPageTitle() uses text().
