NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mediawiki package and not the mediawiki package as distributed by Debian.

MediaWiki 1.21.x, 1.22.x before 1.22.14, and 1.23.x before 1.23.7, when $wgContentHandlerUseDB is enabled, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by setting the content model for a revision to JS.
