What is CVE-2025-32964?

CVE-2025-32964 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in miraheze ManageWiki, published on 22 Apr 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

ManageWiki is a MediaWiki extension allowing users to manage wikis. Prior to commit 00bebea, when enabling a conflicting extension, a restricted extension would be automatically disabled even if the user did not hold the ManageWiki-restricted right. This issue has been patched in commit 00bebea. A workaround involves ensuring that any extensions requiring specific permissions in `$wgManageWikiExtensions` also require the same permissions for managing any conflicting extensions.

Weakness: CWE-285
