The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Wikimedia MediaWiki 1.30.0 through 1.32.1 has XSS. Loading user JavaScript from a non-existent account allows anyone to create the account, and perform XSS on users loading that script. Fixed in 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2 and 1.27.6.


4) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12472)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

An Incorrect Access Control vulnerability was found in Wikimedia MediaWiki 1.18.0 through 1.32.1. It is possible to bypass the limits on IP range blocks ($wgBlockCIDRLimit) by using the API. Fixed in 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2 and 1.27.6.
