Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 69.9% of all records.
  • Fixed version: mediawiki (Debian:12) 1:1.15.3-1; mediawiki (Debian:5.0) 1:1.12.0-2lenny5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to mediawiki (Debian:12) 1:1.15.3-1; mediawiki (Debian:5.0) 1:1.12.0-2lenny5 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

MediaWiki before 1.15.3, and 1.6.x before 1.16.0beta2, does not properly handle a correctly authenticated but unintended login attempt, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct phishing attacks by arranging for a victim to login to the attacker's account and then execute a crafted user script, related to a "login CSRF" issue.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.

    Root cause

    State-changing requests rely on the session cookie the browser sends automatically; nothing verifies that the request came from the user’s own page.
