Description
Summary
With $wgEmbedVideoRequireConsent enabled (the default), the urls for videos are stored in a json-ified data attribute`data-mw-iframeconfig`. When given a malformed url or id, the data-mw-iframeconfig attribute can be escaped via single quotes, allowing for html/javascript injection.
Details
The sprintf here adds the iframe config encoded as JSON here. When given a malicious url or id with a single quote, the `$this->getUrl()` call returns an unescaped payload that terminates the data-mw-iframeconfig attribute and allows for injecting attributes, including handlers, into the figure element. The id regex for the `archiveorg` service and the url regexes for the `wistia` and `sharepoint` services allow for single quotes to be introduced.
PoC
A couple of examples across services
```
Input:
Renders:
...
```
```
Input:
{{#ev:wistia|https://wistia.com/medias/x'onmouseover='alert(document.domain)'}}
Renders:
...
```
```
{{#ev:sharepoint|https://a.sharepoint.com/sites/x'onmouseover='alert(document.domain)'.aspx}}
```
Impact
Under the default $wgEmbedVideoRequireConsent = true configuration, any user able to edit a page can inject arbitrary JavaScript into an HTML event handler attribute (e.g. onfocus) via parameter. It requires no interaction (autofires via autofocus) and executes in the wiki origin for every visitor to the page.
