Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2023-08-21 14:04:40 UTC 
An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.11, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.7, 1.39.x before 1.39.4, and 1.40.x before 1.40.1. It is possible to bypass the Bad image list (aka badFile) by using the thumb parameter (aka Manualthumb) of the File syntax.
