An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-62666 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: The Wikimedia Foundation Mediawiki - CirrusSearch Extension. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62666/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62666/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-62666","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62666/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-62666","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w49h-rmgr-rwp7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MediaWiki CirrusSearch Extension","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service via the CirrusSearch query API due to unthrottled resource allocation in MediaWiki.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"wikimedia-foundation","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in The Wikimedia Foundation Mediawiki - CirrusSearch Extension allows HTTP DoS.This issue affects Mediawiki - CirrusSearch Extension: from master before 1.43.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"DoS vector through the cirrusbuilddoc query API","id":"CVE-2025-62666","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Stored XSS through article extracts in GrowthExperiments","id":"CVE-2025-62667"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Stored XSS through system messages in Skin:BlueSky","id":"CVE-2025-62665"},"products":["Mediawiki - CirrusSearch Extension"],"published":"2025-10-18","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-20","vendors":["The Wikimedia Foundation"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service via the CirrusSearch query API due to unthrottled resource allocation in MediaWiki.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62666/"}
