Private filter disclosure via missing central database fallback
Published Apr 10, 2025 · Updated Apr 10, 2025
Information disclosure in Wikimedia Foundation MediaWiki 1.43.0 allows remote attackers to view private global AbuseFilter log data. Log interfaces treat an unavailable central database as proof that global filters are not hidden, bypassing visibility checks in the API, pager, log page, and examine view. Exposure requires a global private or hidden filter and loss or absence of the central database, and reveals its protected filter and log information.
