An issue was discovered in the Translate extension in MediaWiki through 1.36.2. Oversighters cannot undo revisions or oversight on pages where they suppressed information (such as PII). This allows oversighters to whitewash revisions.

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.
