AI-suggested

A fix is available in Semantic MediaWiki version 7.4.1 and later. Users should upgrade to version 7.4.1 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. Until then, restrict page-edit permissions to trusted users only to reduce risk. No vendor advisory or patch link was provided, so confirm patch availability from official Semantic MediaWiki sources.

Description

Semantic MediaWiki versions from 2.5.0 up to but not including 7.4.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the ValueFormatter::getFormattedSubject() function. This flaw allows users with page-edit rights to inject malicious markup via a preferred property label containing an img onerror payload. The payload executes when any user, including administrators, views the Special:Browse page or uses the smwbrowse API. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4, indicating a medium severity level.
