{"id":"CVE-2026-77609","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-77609","summary":"Semantic MediaWiki has an open redirect in Special:URIResolver","details":"#### Failure mode\n\n`Special:URIResolver` resolves its user-controlled subpage to a MediaWiki title and issues an HTTP 303 redirect to `$title->getFullURL()` without validating the resolved target. A crafted subpage can make that target point off-host: an interwiki prefix redirects to the foreign wiki (for example `Special:URIResolver/mw-3AFoo`, which decodes to `mw:Foo`, redirects to `https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Foo`), and where the resolved URL carries an authority the target can even embed `user:pass@host` credentials. The result is an open redirect to an attacker-influenced host, usable for phishing from a trusted wiki URL.\n\n#### Remediation\n\n- The resolved target URL is parsed and compared against the current host at the redirect sink.\n- The redirect is rejected (bad-title error page) when a user or pass component is present, or when the host does not match the current host.\n\n#### Maintenance note\n\nRedirect code must validate the final target URL, not just the input path. Host comparison belongs at the redirect sink: each sink (special page, entry point) must validate its own target rather than relying on upstream normalisation.","published":"2026-09-18T16:51:25Z","modified":"2026-09-18T17:00:04.984597548Z","cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki","fixedVersion":"7.2.0"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/security/advisories/GHSA-hw3m-8j5x-94ff"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/releases/tag/7.2.0"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-09-18T17:00:04.984597548Z"}}
