2021-12 security release/FAQ/id

Serangkaian kelemahan telah ditemukan di MediaWiki yang memungkinkan penyerang membocorkan isi halaman dari wiki pribadi dan mengabaikan izin penyuntingan. Vektor utama untuk kebocoran ini adalah menggunakan tindakan berisiko di halaman yang dicantumkan di dan dapat diakses secara publik. MediaWiki sekarang hanya membuat tindakan "baca" bisa diakses secara publik di halaman dalam secara bawaan. These issues are fixed in 1.35.5, 1.36.3, and 1.37.1, see the announcement for links to tarballs and patches.

What are the issues?

 * CVE-2021-44858: The "undo" feature allowed an attacker to view the contents of arbitrary revisions, regardless of whether they had permissions to do so. This was also found in the "mcrundo" and "mcrrestore" actions (  and  ).
 * CVE-2021-45038: The "rollback" feature could be passed a specially crafted parameter that allowed an attacker to view the contents of arbitrary pages, regardless of whether they had permissions to do so.
 * CVE-2021-44857: The "mcrundo" and "mcrrestore" actions ( and  ) did not properly check for editing permissions, and allowed an attacker to take the content of any arbitrary revision and save it on any page of their choosing. This affects both public wikis and public pages on private wikis.

I don't have time to patch, how do I disable this?
Add the following to your LocalSettings.php:

If your wiki is private (requires login to view pages) you will also need to set:

It should fully disable the vulnerable code. These changes will also work for vulnerable end-of-life MediaWiki versions that do not have a patch available.

If you used to allow logged-out users to see the main page with help text, you should instead move that help text to the MediaWiki:Loginreqpagetext message, which is shown on the "login required" error.

Was I affected?

 * If your wiki is public (anyone can read pages): yes
 * If your wiki is private, and or  has at least one page: yes

If you use an extension like Lockdown or Whitelist Pages to make some pages unreadable to some users, you are also likely affected.

What versions are vulnerable?
All MediaWiki versions since 1.23.0 are vulnerable to the private wiki read permissions bypasses (CVE-2021-44858, CVE-2021-45038).

All MediaWiki versions since 1.32.0 are vulnerable to the editing permissions bypass. (CVE-2021-44857).

How is this being fixed long-term?
All actions except "view" now require an explicit "read" user right. This is similar to permission checks used in the Action and REST APIs. If further vulnerabilities are found in actions, they will at least not be exploitable by logged-out users on private wikis.

Actions that need to be usable on pages can override the new  function.

How can I see if someone exploited it on my wiki?
Look for  or   in your access logs. Unless you specifically enabled an extension that uses multi-content revisions, there is no legitimate use for these actions.

In addition, look for  requests and check whether the revision IDs belong to a different title than the page being edited.

For the rollback bug, look for  where the "from" parameter is a template transclusion (for example,  ).

This bug does not cause any data loss, so any write actions an attacker could have taken will be recorded in page history like all other edits.
