    CVE-2014-5243

    Published: 22 Aug 2014Last Modified: 16 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: MediaWiki before 1.19.18, 1.20.x through 1.22.x before 1.22.9, and 1.23.x before 1.23.2 does not enforce an IFRAME protection mechanism for transcluded pages, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks via a crafted web site.
