Not sure if we want to include them from MediaWiki-extensions-OAuth

Yes, we probably should, since they aren't bundled in the tar ball releases. I'll add them. Hope to have the announcement out by the end of this week or sooner.

I've requested CVEs for:

  1. T270767 CommentBox
  2. T272333 AbuseFilter
  3. T270142 WikiLove
  4. T259433 PageForms
  5. T71617 AbuseFilter
  6. T223654 AbuseFilter
  7. T71367 AbuseFilter
  8. T274152 AbuseFilter
  9. T275669 CheckUser
  10. T152394 AbuseFilter
  11. T272244 AbuseFilter
  12. T277380 OAuth
  13. T277388 OAuth

I hope to have these confirmed from Mitre by early next week, at which time I will make this task public and send out the supplemental announcement to the relevant mailing lists.

The Wikimedia Security Team recommends updating these extensions and/or skins to the current master branch or relevant, supported release branch [2] as soon as possible. Some of the referenced Phabricator tasks above _may_ still be private. Unfortunately, when security issues are reported, sometimes sensitive information is exposed and since Phabricator is historical, we cannot make these tasks public without exposing this sensitive information. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding this update, please feel free to contact security@wikimedia.org or file a security task within Phabricator [3].
