Description

An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.8, 1.36.x and 1.37.x before 1.37.5, and 1.38.x before 1.38.3. Upon an action=rollback operation, the alreadyrolled message can leak a user name (when the user has been revision deleted/suppressed).

Solution(s)

  • mediawiki-upgrade-1_35_8
  • mediawiki-upgrade-1_37_5
  • mediawiki-upgrade-1_38_3

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
