Description

Semantic MediaWiki 7.3.1 before 7.4.1 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in EditProtectionUpdater::userMayChangeProtection() that checks protection changes against the page's latest revision author. Editors can add {{#set:Is edit protected=false}} to a transcluded template, removing administrator edit and move protection logged under the administrator's name.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Vulnerability
  1. Detect

    Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

  2. Fix

    Upgrade the affected component to the fixed release for GHSA-gh59-2vh3-6cgm, or apply your distribution's backported patch — distro builds are often patched at an older version number, so check your vendor's advisory rather than the upstream version alone.

  3. Workarounds

    Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
