Mediawiki EmbedVideo Extension has stored XSS via malformed src url with $wgEmbedVideoRequireConsent disabled

Published Sep 24, 2026 · Updated Sep 29, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

The EmbedVideo Extension is a MediaWiki extension which adds a parser function called #ev and various parser tags for embedding video clips from various video sharing services. Prior to 4.1.0, with $wgEmbedVideoRequireConsent disabled (not the default), the urls for videos are passed into an iframe src attribute without sanitization. When given a malformed url or id, the src attribute can be escaped via double quotes, allowing for html/javascript injection. Version 4.1.0 contains a patch.
