The chunked upload API (ApiUpload) in MediaWiki before 1.23.11, 1.24.x before 1.24.4, and 1.25.x before 1.25.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) via a file upload using one byte chunks.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Affected MediaWiki sites could let a logged-in uploader exhaust server disk space through the chunked upload API. The business impact is availability: a full disk can disrupt the wiki and related services. The source bundle does not show active exploitation or a CVSS score. Exposure is most likely on legacy MediaWiki deployments in the affected version ranges where authenticated users can upload files through ApiUpload. Public, multi-user, or partner-access wikis have higher practical risk than tightly controlled internal wikis. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or broadly accessible MediaWiki instances. This is an availability risk, not evidence of data theft or system takeover from the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MediaWiki to 1.23.11, 1.24.4, 1.25.3, or a later supported release.; Review the Wikimedia security release notice for version-specific guidance.; Temporarily limit upload privileges for untrusted users during remediation..
