MediaWiki Incorrect Access Control vulnerability

CVE-2019-12472GHSA-7mqg-5fgh-xh4r

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (mediawiki/core 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2, 1.27.6), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2019-12472

Advisory: MediaWiki Incorrect Access Control vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2019-12472, GHSA-7mqg-5fgh-xh4r
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2019-12472 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:24 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: mediawiki/core 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2, 1.27.6. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist mediawiki/core: affected >= 1.18.0, < 1.27.6; >= 1.30.0, < 1.30.2; >= 1.31.0, < 1.31.2; >= 1.32.0, < 1.32.2; fixed in 1.27.6, 1.32.2, 1.31.2, 1.30.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist mediawiki/core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on mediawiki/core.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-7mqg-5fgh-xh4r (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-7mqg-5fgh-xh4r lists affected ranges: Packagist mediawiki/core >=1.18.0 =1.30.0 =1.31.0 =1.32.0 <1.32.2)
