Stored XSS via raw pagelist message insertion
Published Jan 7, 2026 · Updated Jan 7, 2026
Stored XSS in Wikimedia Foundation Proofread Page Extension 1.39, 1.43, 1.44, and 1.45 allows remote attackers to run scripts in editors' browsers. PagelistInputWidget.TopPanel.js inserts a system message containing a user-controlled pagelist parameter as raw HTML instead of text. A victim must preview a crafted pagelist and activate its preview control; a saved payload then executes for other editors who preview that index.
