Description

Semantic MediaWiki versions from 2.5.0 up to but not including 7.4.1 have a missing authorization vulnerability. This flaw allows editors without the edit-protection right to lock pages by adding an 'Is edit protected' annotation. Attackers can exploit this by adding [[Is edit protected::true]] to pages or widely transcluded templates, causing the TitleQuickPermissions hook to block other editors and administrators from editing, moving, or deleting those pages indefinitely. The vulnerability is fixed in version 7.4.1.
