Improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command ('SQL injection') vulnerability in The Wikimedia Foundation Mediawiki - Cargo Extension allows SQL Injection. This issue affects Mediawiki - Cargo Extension: from * before 1.43.9,1.44.6,1.45.4.

A flaw was found in the Mediawiki Cargo Extension. This vulnerability, identified as SQL Injection, allows an attacker to execute malicious SQL commands. By exploiting improper handling of special characters in SQL commands, an attacker can potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive data within the database, leading to unauthorized information disclosure or data manipulation.

An Important SQL injection flaw affects the Mediawiki Cargo Extension, enabling unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of sensitive database information. The impact is significant in deployments where Mediawiki instances are exposed to untrusted networks and the Cargo Extension is actively utilized. To mitigate the risk, restrict network access to the Mediawiki instance to only trusted users and networks. This can be achieved by configuring firewall rules to limit inbound connections to the server hosting Mediawiki. If the Mediawiki Cargo Extension is not essential for your deployment, consider disabling or removing it, following Mediawiki's official documentation for extension management.
