Description
SemanticMediaWiki versions from 4.2.0 up to but not including 7.2.1 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious HTML and execute scripts in users' browsers via crafted URLs targeting the Special:FacetedSearch page. The vulnerability arises from unescaped cstate parameters that break out of hidden input attributes. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, indicating a medium severity issue.
