CVE-2026-116871

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.0 before 7.3.1 contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in LegacyParser::getSubqueryDescription() that processes nested query tokens before depth limits apply. Unauthenticated attackers can submit deeply nested query elements to the action=ask API to consume substantial CPU and memory, tying up request workers.

Risk Assessment

Significant CPU and memory consumption may occur, tying up request workers. This leads to denial of service.

Recommendation

Update Semantic MediaWiki to version 7.3.1 or later. Consider limiting query nesting depth and monitoring resources.
