Mediawiki · Widgets Extension · CVE-2020-9382
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Widgets extension versions 1.4.0 and earlier
**Description**
An issue was discovered in the Widgets extension for MediaWiki, where improper title sanitization allowed for the execution of any wiki page as a widget via MediaWiki's `{{#widget:}}` parser function.
**Recommendations**
For versions 1.4.0 and earlier, consider disabling the `{{#widget:}}` parser function until a patch is available to prevent the execution of arbitrary wiki pages as widgets. Restrict access to the Widgets extension to minimize the risk of exploitation.
