d8sychain / docker-mediawiki Goto Github PK

I'm getting a script error for my page when I try to use the Scribunto extension.

"Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

No further details are available."

Hi, I'm security researcher that recently works on your docker image d8sychain/mediawiki on DockerHub.

After I set up the image, it seems like /includes directories are open to public access.

However, it should not be expose. Since it contains .php files, the attacker may access them and analyze potential security holes in them, as mentioned in https://www.wordfence.com/learn/understanding-php-vulnerabilities/ and https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-74/product_id-128/PHP-PHP.html.

Would it be better to block these access in your docker image? Thanks!

Best,

Hello,
Sorry if this is irrelevant, but I saw the instructions on DockerHub were out of date, because to use MariaDB, you have to run both a separate MariaDB container and a MediaWiki container, according to the instructions in the current README.md. The instructions on DockerHub used the MYSQL_INSTALL_OPTION environment variable.

There is a way to automatically update the README file on DockerHub using the sbt-native-packager plugin, but I haven't tested it yet. Alternatively, you could have the README on DockerHub be a link to point to the most recent README on the GitHub page.

Thank you!
