CVE-2015-6735
The reset functionality in the TimedMediaHandler extension for MediaWiki does not create a new transcode, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (transcode deletion) by resetting a transcode.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.75%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
