HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Semantic MediaWiki from 2.5.0 before 7.3.1 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability that allows anonymous attackers to force quadratic computation by supplying a zero limit to Special:PropertyLabelSimilarity. Attackers can send repeated requests with limit=0 to bypass the SQL LIMIT and trigger pairwise similar text() comparisons, exhausting PHP CPU, memory, and database connections.
