starcitizentools/citizen-skin allows stored XSS in search no result messages
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The citizen-search-noresults-title and citizen-search-noresults-desc system messages are inserted into raw HTML, allowing anybody who can edit those messages to insert arbitrary HTML into the DOM.
Potential impact
This impacts wikis where a group has the editinterface but not the editsitejs user right.
Technical context
The system messages are inserted as raw HTML by the mustache template: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/407052e7069bdeae927d6f1a2a1c9a45b473bf9a/resources/skins.citizen.search/templates/TypeaheadPlaceholder.mustacheL8-L9
