Description
Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 before 7.4.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in Special:Ask with the ElasticStore backend, allowing users with edit rights to inject script through unescaped native_result and score_set output. Attackers can store markup in a Text property or subobject name, then lure victims including administrators to a crafted Special:Ask link to execute script in their session.
