Loading Special:MergeLexemes will (attempt to) make an edit that merges the from-id to the to-id, even if the request was not a POST request, and even if it does not contain an edit token. |
| CVE-2023-37303 | CRITICAL | 9.8 | Jun 30, 2023 | An issue was discovered in the CheckUser extension for MediaWiki through 1.39.3. In certain situations, an attempt to block a user fails after a temporary browser hang and a DBQueryDisconnectedError error message. |

If a user with the necessary rights to move the page opens Special:MovePage for a page with tens of thousands of subpages, then the page will exceed the maximum request time, leading to a denial of service. |
| CVE-2023-45371 | HIGH | 7.5 | Oct 9, 2023 | An issue was discovered in the Wikibase extension for MediaWiki before 1.35.12, 1.36.x through 1.39.x before 1.39.5, and 1.40.x before 1.40.1. There is no rate limit for merging items. |

| CVE-2022-28203 | HIGH | 7.5 | Sep 19, 2022 | A denial-of-service issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.6, 1.36.x before 1.36.4, and 1.37.x before 1.37.2. When many files exist, requesting Special:NewFiles with actor as a condition can result in a very long running query. |
| CVE-2022-34750 | HIGH | 7.5 | Jun 28, 2022 | An issue was discovered in MediaWiki through 1.38.1. The lemma length of a Wikibase lexeme is currently capped at a thousand characters. Unfortunately, this length is not validated, allowing much larger lexemes to be created, which introduces various denial-of-service attack vectors within the Wikibase and WikibaseLexeme extensions. This is related to Special:NewLexeme and Special:NewProperty. |
| CVE-2022-28323 | HIGH | 7.5 | Apr 30, 2022 | An issue was discovered in MediaWiki through 1.37.2. The SecurePoll extension allows a leak because sorting by timestamp is supported, |

| CVE-2021-44858 | HIGH | 7.5 | Dec 20, 2021 | An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.5, 1.36.x before 1.36.3, and 1.37.x before 1.37.1. It is possible to use action=edit&undo= followed by action=mcrundo and action=mcrrestore to view private pages on a private wiki that has at least one page set in $wgWhitelistRead. |
| CVE-2020-12051 | HIGH | 7.5 | Apr 21, 2020 | The CentralAuth extension through REL1_34 for MediaWiki allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive hidden account information via an api.php?action=query&meta=globaluserinfo&guiuser= request. In other words, the information can be retrieved via the action API even though access would be denied when simply visiting wiki/Special:CentralAuth in a web browser. |
