doesn't have edit rights for)

allows an attacker to view the contents of arbitrary pages, regardless of whether they had
permissions to do so

a given media file
- CVE-2021-46147: MassEditRegex allows CSRF

a very long key in a Language Name Search
- CVE-2021-46150: Special:CheckUserLog allows CheckUser XSS because of date mishandling, as
demonstrated by an XSS payload in MediaWiki:October");
