Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Semantic MediaWiki extension for Packagist (mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki) is vulnerable in versions from 3.1.0 before 7.0.0. A user with the edit right can insert a crafted data attribute through wikitext that the extension's JavaScript later writes into the page as HTML, enabling stored cross-site scripting that runs in other users' browsers. The fix is to upgrade to version 7.0.0.
