editinterface (usually only available to sysops on wmf wikis) is required to edit MediaWiki: namespace, which includes MediaWiki:(blah).css/js. And edituser(css/js) is required to edit other user’s CSS/JS files. In fawiki case, these permissions are available in template editor, so once he became one of template editor (I don’t know how strict fawiki rule is, so no comment on there) he was able to inject such evil thing (tm).
TL;DR: 1. editinterface to modify MediaWiki: namespace, which affects everyone. 2. edituserjs to touch other user’s js. 3. editusercss to touch other user’s css. -- Yongmin Sent from my iPhone https://wp.revi.blog Text licensed under CC BY ND 2.0 KR Please note that this address is list-only address and any non-mailing list mails will be treated as spam.
