Affected packages

• Packagist mediawiki/core: >= 1.31.0, < 1.31.9 → fixed in 1.31.9 • Packagist mediawiki/core: >= 1.32.0, < 1.34.3 → fixed in 1.34.3

Description

An issue was discovered in the OATHAuth extension in MediaWiki before 1.31.9 and 1.32.x through 1.34.x before 1.34.3. For Wikis using OATHAuth on a farm/cluster (such as via CentralAuth), rate limiting of OATH tokens is only done on a single site level. Thus, multiple requests can be made across many wikis/sites concurrently.
