Last modified
CVE-2020-15005 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.1/10 on the CVSS scale. In MediaWiki before 1.31.8, 1.32.x and 1.33.x before 1.33.4, and 1.34.x before 1.34.2, private wikis behind a caching server using the img_auth.php image authorization security feature may have had their files cached publicly, so any unauthorized user could view them. This occurs because Cache-Control and Vary headers were mishandled.. EPSS estimates a 1.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
