How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest mediawiki to version 1:1.35.6-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.6, 1.36.x before 1.36.4, and 1.37.x before 1.37.2. Users with the editinterface permission can trigger infinite recursion, because a bare local interwiki is mishandled for the mainpage message.
