NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mediawiki package and not the mediawiki package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.37.3 and 1.38.x before 1.38.1. The contributions-title, used on Special:Contributions, is used as page title without escaping. Hence, in a non-default configuration where a username contains HTML entities, it won't be escaped.
