CVE-2026-116881

Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 before 7.3.1 XSS via Property-Value Autocomplete

Published Oct 27, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Semantic MediaWiki from 3.0.0 before 7.3.1 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to inject markup by storing malicious semantic property values rendered unescaped in autocomplete suggestions. When another user opens the property-value autocomplete with an empty query, jquery.autocomplete.js concatenates the raw PValueLookup API value into HTML via container.html(), altering the dropdown and potentially executing script.
