Mediawiki · Mediawiki · CVE-2024-34506
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MediaWiki versions prior to 1.39.7
MediaWiki versions 1.40.x prior to 1.40.3
MediaWiki versions 1.41.x prior to 1.41.1
**Description**
An issue in the `includes/specials/SpecialMovePage.php` file of MediaWiki can lead to a denial of service. If a user with the necessary rights to move a page opens `Special:MovePage` for a page with tens of thousands of subpages, the page will exceed the maximum request time, resulting in a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For MediaWiki versions prior to 1.39.7, update to version 1.39.7 or later.
For MediaWiki versions 1.40.x prior to 1.40.3, update to version 1.40.3 or later.
For MediaWiki versions 1.41.x prior to 1.41.1, update to version 1.41.1 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `Special:MovePage` page for users with the necessary rights to move pages, especially for pages with a large number of subpages.
