This vulnerability (CVE-2026-100376) in the Mediawiki TemplateSandbox Extension arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, classified as CWE-79 (Cross-site Scripting). It affects all versions prior to 1.46.1, including versions 1.45.5 and 1.43.10. The flaw allows an attacker with low privileges and user interaction to potentially execute script code in the context of the affected web application. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected web application, potentially leading to limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. The CVSS score of 4.8 reflects a medium severity level, indicating moderate risk but not critical impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
