CVE-2019-19709: Possible to circumvent title denylist

May 24, 2022 (updated May 15, 2024)

MediaWiki through 1.33.1 allows attackers to bypass the title denylist protection mechanism by starting with an arbitrary title, establishing a non-resolvable redirect for the associated page, and using redirect=1 in the action API when editing that page.
