MediaWiki Cargo Extension Cross-site Scripting vulnerability

CVE-2024-23173GHSA-rhpm-63w5-79rg

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (mediawiki/cargo 1.40.2, 1.39.6, 1.35.14), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

An issue was discovered in the Cargo extension in MediaWiki before 1.35.14, 1.36.x through 1.39.x before 1.39.6, and 1.40.x before 1.40.2. The Special:Drilldown page allows XSS via artist, album, and position parameters because of applied filter values in drilldown/CargoAppliedFilter.php.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-23173

Advisory: MediaWiki Cargo Extension Cross-site Scripting vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2024-23173, GHSA-rhpm-63w5-79rg
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-23173 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:34 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: mediawiki/cargo 1.40.2, 1.39.6, 1.35.14. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist mediawiki/cargo: affected < 1.35.14; >= 1.36.0, < 1.39.6; >= 1.40.0, < 1.40.2; fixed in 1.40.2, 1.35.14, 1.39.6

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist mediawiki/cargo: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on mediawiki/cargo.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-rhpm-63w5-79rg (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-rhpm-63w5-79rg lists affected ranges: Packagist mediawiki/cargo >=0 =1.36.0 =1.40.0 <1.40.2)
