MediaWiki 1.3.8 and earlier, when used with Apache mod_mime, does not properly handle files with two file extensions, such as .php.rar, which allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old MediaWiki file-upload issue. On MediaWiki 1.3.8 and earlier with Apache mod_mime, a file using multiple extensions could be handled as executable code after upload. For any still-running legacy wiki, impact can include server compromise. Exposure is mainly legacy or abandoned MediaWiki deployments at version 1.3.8 or earlier, specifically where Apache mod_mime is in use and file uploads are reachable. Modern deployments are unlikely to be affected unless they retain this old code or configuration pattern. Prioritize if any legacy public MediaWiki instance remains online. The business risk is server compromise, but affected technology is very old, so urgency depends on whether such systems still exist. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire any MediaWiki 1.3.8 or earlier deployments.; Review historical MediaWiki and advisory guidance for the supported fixed version.; Disable untrusted file uploads until configuration is verified..
