Description

Semantic MediaWiki versions from 3.1.0 up to but not including 7.3.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows authenticated users with the smw-schemaedit permission to inject malicious HTML code via schema descriptions. The injected HTML is rendered unescaped, enabling alteration of pages and potential targeting of users who view the affected schema pages.
