Version        : 1:1.27.7-1~deb9u7
CVE ID         : CVE-2020-15005 CVE-2020-35477 CVE-2020-35479 CVE-2020-35480

Multiple security issues were discovered in MediaWiki, a website engine
for collaborative work.

CVE-2020-15005

    Private wikis behind a caching server using the img_auth.php image
    authorization security feature may have had their files cached
    publicly, so any unauthorized user could view them.

CVE-2020-35477

    Blocks legitimate attempts to hide log entries in some situations.

CVE-2020-35479

    Allows XSS via BlockLogFormatter.php. Language::translateBlockExpiry
    itself does not escape in all code paths. For example, the return of
    Language::userTimeAndDate is is always unsafe for HTML in a month
    value.

CVE-2020-35480

    Missing users (accounts that don't exist) and hidden users (accounts
    that have been explicitly hidden due to being abusive, or similar)
    that the viewer cannot see are handled differently, exposing
    sensitive information about the hidden status to unprivileged
    viewers.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
1:1.27.7-1~deb9u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your mediawiki packages.
