Notes:

  1. the VisualEditor bug was only backported to REL1_34 and REL1_33. See additional context: T239209#5744008.
  2. the MinervaNeue skin bug only made it to master and the relevant deployment branch. It should most likely be backported to 1.34 when the commits have caught up. The CVE has also been requested as of 2019-12-19 17:30 utc and will be updated here when the ID (CVE-2019-19910) has been received by the Security-Team.
  3. LDAPAuthentication2 is not a deployed or bundled MediaWiki extension. There is also some lingering discussion about what release branches this extension officially supports, see: T240338#5754419.

The Wikimedia Security Team recommends updating these extensions and 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].
