[GHSA] GHSA-3jp5-3h47-28qf (medium) — Semantic MediaWiki has reflected XSS in Special:Ask plain table headers

medgithub_advisoriesPublished 2026-09-18

GHSA-3jp5-3h47-28qf Severity: medium CVE: CVE-2026-77606

Semantic MediaWiki has reflected XSS in Special:Ask plain table headers

#### Failure mode

When `headers=plain`, table header text was emitted into `<th>` via a raw HTML path. User-controlled `mainlabel` content could therefore become executable HTML.

#### Remediation

- `TableResultPrinter` now applies output-context escaping before pass
