Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-04-12 16:29:22 UTC 
An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.31.13 and 1.32.x through 1.35.x before 1.35.2. When using the MediaWiki API to "protect" a page, a user is currently able to protect to a higher level than they currently have permissions for.
