An issue was discovered in includes/page/Article.php in MediaWiki 1.36.x through 1.39.x before 1.39.5 and 1.40.x before 1.40.1. Deleted revision existence is leaked due to incorrect permissions being checked. This reveals that a given revision ID belonged to the given page title, and its timestamp, both of which are not supposed to be public information.
The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.
