An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.35.9, 1.36.x through 1.38.x before 1.38.5, and 1.39.x before 1.39.1. When installing with a pre-existing data directory that has weak permissions, the SQLite files are created with file mode 0644, i.e., world readable to local users. These files include credentials data.
Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when mediawiki ships something exploited.
