Wikimedia: un ver JavaScript auto-propagatif a modifié des scripts et vandalisé Meta‑Wiki (23 min)

Source: BleepingComputer (Lawrence Abrams, 5 mars 2026). La Wikimedia Foundation a fait face à un incident de sécurité impliquant un ver JavaScript auto‑propagatif qui a modifié des scripts utilisateurs et vandalisé des pages sur Meta‑Wiki, entraînant une restriction temporaire des éditions puis un retour à la normale une fois le code malicieux supprimé. 🐛 Le ver aurait été déclenché après l’exécution d’un script malveillant hébergé sur la Wikipédia en russe (User:Ololoshka562/test.js, mis en ligne en mars 2024). Selon l’historique, il a été exécuté pour la première fois par un compte employé Wikimedia lors de tests de fonctionnalités de scripts utilisateurs (intention inconnue). Le code injectait un « loader » dans les fichiers User:/common.js (persistance utilisateur) et, si les droits le permettaient, dans MediaWiki:Common.js (persistance globale), assurant une auto‑propagation à chaque chargement du script global. ⚙️

Work brain: Oh no, a *strip marker* not another map-frame parsing bug on Wikipedia!

I am happy with how this turned out.

This is for a local startup business that wants an internal wiki (asked for mediawiki) and the ability to have more php-mariadb (mysql) custom web apps.

Why a GUI for a server? Just in case it is needed. I am not going to be doing all the work and I want it as easy as possible to use. Linux Mint Debian Edition is a good fit, as then I can just treat it like a Debian server. That's similar to a lot of the other Linux consulting I do.

I have a hard disk drive for versioned backup. Configured Time Shift to back up everything to it. Seems to work well, as I can browse the Timeshift snapshot in the file browser.

I also set up MediaWiki for them. Learned a few things there. I had to set a root mariadb password. I customized it with a logo and also made some other adjustments to the MediaWiki LocalSettings.php file.

in today's accidentally cursed #wikitext, a username that ends with ! combined with the stock text "Hello $username!" creates a literal !!, which just so happens to be table markup to create a new cell, so it blows up the template: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AClick_this_username_please%21&diff=1340285003&oldid=1340165363

The MediaWiki CrawlerProtection extension went live on Camera-Wiki today. We're still struggling with massive bandwidth bills and site accessibility issues caused by the plague of AI/LLM bots. We've also recently implemented nightly updates to our firewall with IP lists from various sources. May have to try Anubis next. If anyone feels like making a donation to help offset our ever increasing hosting costs, there's a link on our profile.
