Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2017 16:41:56 +0200 From: "Securify B.V." <lists@...urify.nl> To: fulldisclosure@...lists.org Subject: [FD] SyntaxHighlight MediaWiki extension allows injection of arbitrary Pygments options ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SyntaxHighlight MediaWiki extension allows injection of arbitrary Pygments options ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yorick Koster, February 2017 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A vulnerability was found in the SyntaxHighlight MediaWiki extension. Using this vulnerability it is possible for an anonymous attacker to pass arbitrary options to the Pygments library. By specifying specially crafted options, it is possible for an attacker to trigger a (stored) Cross-Site Scripting condition. In addition, it allows the creating of arbitrary files containing user-controllable data. Depending on the server configuration, this can be used by an anonymous attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ See also ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - CVE-2017-0372 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158689 - https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2017-April/000207.html (fix not included in this release) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tested versions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This issue was tested on SyntaxHighlight version 2.0 as bundled with MediaWiki version 1.28.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fix ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This issue was supposed to be fixed in MediaWiki version 1.28.1 and version 1.27.2. It appears that the fix was pushed to the git repository, but for some reason it was not included in the release packages. It is advised to apply the patch committed to Github. https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/commit/2d5a60a89fb3995b73e17df5901d6f023e41df3d https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/commit/a88c5e1dcbdb3e9940c6f55a6744c62a6d62710f ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Details ------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.securify.nl/advisory/SFY20170201/syntaxhighlight_mediawiki_extension_allows_injection_of_arbitrary_pygments_options.html _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
