AI-suggested

A fixed version 7.4.1 or later addresses this vulnerability. Users should upgrade Semantic MediaWiki to version 7.4.1 or above to remediate this issue. Until patched, restrict smw-schemaedit permissions to trusted users only to reduce risk.

Description

Semantic MediaWiki versions from 4.2.0 up to but not including 7.4.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the OptionsBuilder::profiles() function. This flaw allows users with the smw-schemaedit permission to inject malicious markup by saving specially crafted FACETEDSEARCH_PROFILE_SCHEMA profile keys or labels. The injected scripts execute for every visitor to the Special:FacetedSearch page, including administrators, potentially compromising their sessions or data.
