An issue was discovered in Special:MediaSearch in the MediaSearch extension in MediaWiki through 1.36.2. The suggestion text (a parameter to mediasearch-did-you-mean) was not being properly sanitized and allowed for the injection and execution of HTML and JavaScript via the intitle: search operator within the query.
Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when mediawiki ships something exploited.
