Description

Semantic MediaWiki versions from 3.0.0 up to but not including 7.3.1 contain a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Special:SMWAdmin page. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trick an authenticated smw-admin user into performing unintended actions such as schema setup, entity disposal, or job execution. Exploitation can result in semantic data loss and resource exhaustion.
