NVD Description

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

MediaWiki 1.8.1, and other versions before 1.13.3, when the wgShowExceptionDetails variable is enabled, sometimes provides the full installation path in a debugging message, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified requests that trigger an uncaught exception.
