2021-12 security release/FAQ/ja

MediaWikiにいくつか脆弱性が見つかりました. 攻撃者がプライベートウィキの内容を盗み取り、編集権限を回避する可能性があります. The main vector for this wiki-leak is using vulnerable actions on pages that are listed in and therefore publicly accessible. MediaWikiは現在、デフォルトでのページで「表示」アクションのみを公開しています. これらの問題は 1.35.5、1.36.3、及び1.37.1 で修正されています. tarball とパッチへのリンクについては、のお知らせ を参照してください.



問題は何ですか？

 * CVE-2021-44858:「元に戻す」機能 により、攻撃者は権限の有無にかかわらず、任意のリビジョンの内容を表示できました. これは"mcrundo"および"mcrrestore"アクション( および )にも見られました.
 * CVE-2021-45038:「巻き戻し」機能 に特別に細工されたパラメータが渡される可能性があり、攻撃者がアクセス許可を持っているかどうかに関係なく、任意のページのコンテンツを表示できるようになりました.
 * 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 or  to make some pages unreadable to some users, you are also likely affected.

What versions are vulnerable?
All MediaWiki versions since 1.23.0 until 1.34.x, and 1.35.x, 1.36.x, 1.37.x before the fixes (see the top section), are vulnerable to the private wiki read permissions bypasses (CVE-2021-44858, CVE-2021-45038).

All MediaWiki versions since 1.32.0 until 1.34.x, and 1.35.x, 1.36.x, 1.37.x before the fixes (see the top section), 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.
