Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Semantic MediaWiki versions 4.2.0 up to but not including 7.2.1 are affected by a reflected cross-site scripting issue in Special:FacetedSearch, where values in the cstate request parameters are inserted into the page without HTML escaping. A remote attacker can craft a URL that sets the required query parameters, so a victim who opens the link may have script run in the wiki's origin. The source's proposed rating is CVSS 3.1 Medium, but no official severity is given. Upgrade to version 7.2.1, which is listed as the fixed release.
