Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-04-06 17:07:50 UTC

An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.31.12 and 1.32.x through 1.35.x before 1.35.2. Blocked users are unable to use Special:ResetTokens. This has security relevance because a blocked user might have accidentally shared a token, or might know that a token has been compromised, and yet is not able to block any potential future use of the token by an unauthorized party.

Statement:

The mediawiki package was removed from OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) in version 4.3, therefore for OCP 4 has been marked as out of support scope.
