**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** MediaWiki versions prior to 1.36.2 **Description** The issue allows for a denial of service due to resource consumption caused by lengthy query processing time. Visiting Special:Contributions can sometimes result in a long running SQL query because PoolCounter protection is mishandled. **Recommendations** For MediaWiki versions prior to 1.36.2, update to version 1.36.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Special:Contributions page to minimize the risk of exploitation.
