Discussion
RETIRED: MediaWiki 'ratelink.php' SQL Injection Vulnerability
MediaWiki is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.
Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
NOTE: This BID is being retired because the vendor indicates that the affected script is not part of the application.
