Description

Mediawiki 1.31 before 1.31.1, 1.30.1, 1.29.3 and 1.27.5 contains a flaw where contrary to the documentation, $wgRateLimits entry for 'user' overrides that for 'newbie'.

Solution(s)

  • debian-upgrade-mediawiki

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.
