I noticed this myself while checkusering a bunch of people with my Wikipedia account.Bbb23sucks wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 8:42 pmhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-29139
Unfortunately, this only appears to work IF you have CheckUser access.
Me too, though it was on my WMF account.boredbird wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 10:13 pmI noticed this myself while checkusering a bunch of people with my Wikipedia account.Bbb23sucks wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 8:42 pmhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-29139

This one was actually fixed rather quickly, though it only appears to apply to the latest alpha of MediaWiki. But anything that isn't big enough to immediately crash their site will likely remain unfixed for 15+ years. Even if it is fixed, it will probably be fixed by an unpaid volunteer. What are they even paying their devs for?ericbarbour wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 11:39 pmIt's "nice" to know that MediaWiki is still riddled with bugs that go back 15-20 years. We need these occasional reminders of how screwed-up their Magical Software is. And remains, despite about 18 years of employing coders on actual salaries to "fix" things.
You can ask them, but you will NEVER get a straight answer. And unless you're a prominent jornalist or writer, they would probably ignore your question completely. Great at stonewalling people--not so good at code development.
