CVE-2025-32071Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Cross-site scripting via unescaped dimension metadata

Published Apr 11, 2025 · Updated Jul 7, 2025

Cross-site scripting in Wikimedia Foundation Wikibase 1.39 through 1.43 allows remote authenticated users to run script in a viewer's browser. CommonsInlineImageFormatter::getFileMetaHtml() inserts the plain-text widthheight result from ImageHandler::getDimensionsString() directly into HTML without escaping it. Exploitation requires low-privileged access, a crafted widthheight message, and a viewer to open an entity containing a commonsMedia image.
