NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mediawiki package and not the mediawiki package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

MediaWiki before 1.23.11, 1.24.x before 1.24.4, and 1.25.x before 1.25.3 does not properly restrict access to revisions, which allows remote authenticated users with the viewsuppressed user right to remove revision suppressions via a crafted revisiondelete action, which returns a valid a change form.
