I would normally consider something like wfMessage( 'foo' )->params( $_GET['foo'] )->parse() to be safe. However in raw html mode it would not be. Perhaps as a hardening measure we should disable raw html on the message parser.
I took a look through core MW and did not find anything obvious of this form that was exploitable.

| Resolved | Bawolff | T156184 Make rawHTML mode not apply to system messages |
Going to send an email to wikitech-l to get more feedback on this.
I looked through donatewiki and foundationwiki. It does not appear that rawhtml is being used in system messages there.
That would make it impossible to use HTML in the page footer (e.g. for social shares), which I would expect to be one of the more common use cases.
Having params sanitize it would be a more targeted measure (although probably harder to implement).
It would still work for direct views to the MediaWiki namespace. It just wouldn't work when the message is processed through wfMessage() [e.g. When the message is included on special pages, etc]
Yes. This proposal does not include messages that are treated entirely raw. It only affects the <html> parser tag.
That would make it impossible to use HTML in the page footer (e.g. for social shares), which I would expect to be one of the more common use cases.
Well in fairness, people can directly add that to MediaWiki:Copyright. In general though I would hope such people use an extension.
Having params sanitize it would be a more targeted measure (although probably harder to implement).
We could introduce a variant of params that basically uses wfEscapeWikiText(), however I think it would be very difficult to escape only <html> tags but not other wikisyntax since the html tags can come in via templates and things.
I support this and it nicely resonates with T2212: Some MediaWiki: messages not safe in HTML (tracking). Anything that requires unsafe output must find another way to do it.
There's a few cases I know of that surprised me by being interface messages. Here's a few of them to remember that these would also be affected:
And various other *-summary and *text messages like these are essentially considered wiki pages (including interwiki/language links).
sp-contributions-footer
ironically, that one is actually pretty close to being an example of this issue. However, its not since < cannot be used in a title (or username).
So there's three main ways I see to implement this:
Pros: Simple and easy to implement. Already there.
Cons: Would not prevent <html> when someone does ->inLanguage() or calls an OutputPage method (Should OutputPage addWikiText() stuff be included in this proposal?)
Pros: Would work everywhere we want it to
Cons: Add yet another option to ParserOptions
This seems kind of hacky, especially given how the parser is often initialized once and then reused.
I think I like method 2 the best.
Pass some flag to the parser hooks which tells whether the main page content or a message is being parsed, and use that in CoreTagHooks::html? The usefulness of such a flag came up a number of times in the past.
Change 336389 had a related patch set uploaded (by Brian Wolff):
SECURITY: Disable <html> tag on system messages despite $wgRawHtml = true;
This is just meant as one possible implementation, not necessarily the one we will use. I wrote this patch before reading tgr's comment above.
To clarify, this will also disable <html> tags on stuff run through $wgOut->addWikiText() [and related methods], since that also has similar parameterization. This means of course that the change will affect more things such as special pages, including special pages that are transcluded on to normal pages.
Hmm. That is kind of what $parser->getOptions()->getInterfaceMessage() in one sense, but then that flag does a whole lot of things, and sometimes gets turned off for various types of interface messages. I guess what people want to know, is this a normal wiki page parse, or is this something else like an interface message (but there are other things that are neither normal page parses nor interface messages).
The benefit of using a specialized flag just for this, is no one will mess with it to trigger some unrelated behaviour tied to the flag, that might happen if its a general "This is a normal wikipage" flag.
This also raises a question - should the "disable <html> thingies" be an on by default behaviour that gets disabled in the normal parser, or an off by default that gets enabled in system message contexts.

This fix was a good idea, but we're currently facing a ton of breakage on donatewiki (34 blocked items on the main landing page) . You can take a look on mwdebug1002, at the moment.
We need a workaround--is there an alternative to addWikiText which will allow raw HTML and disallow URL parameters?

[mediawiki/extensions/FundraiserLandingPage@master] Kludge an exception to allow raw HTML in system messages
With the benefit of hindsight: this change should have included some logging so it is easy to spot when a given wiki is affected.
One way to reduce the impact is to only isable <html> in messages which have parameters. Seems kind of painful to pass that information around, though.
In the longer term, it would be nice to come up with some system for message metadata so messages can be whitelisted. (There would be many other security benefits, such as locking messages to the right parsing type.) Sounds like an MCR thing...
