AI-suggested

A fix is available in Semantic MediaWiki version 7.4.1. Users should upgrade to version 7.4.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until upgrading, restrict page-edit rights to trusted users only to reduce the risk of exploitation.

Description

Semantic MediaWiki versions from 2.5.0 up to but not including 7.4.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw exists in the ValueFormatter::getFormattedSubject() function, which improperly renders property label segments after a literal non-breaking space (&nbsp;) as unescaped markup. Users with page-edit rights can exploit this by setting a preferred property label containing a malicious img onerror payload. This payload executes when any user, including administrators, views the Special:Browse page or accesses the smwbrowse API.
