MEDIUM 4.3EPSS 0.83%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.83%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue was discovered in the VisualEditor extension in MediaWiki before 1.31.13, and 1.32.x through 1.35.x before 1.35.2. . When using VisualEditor to edit a MediaWiki user page belonging to an existing, but hidden, user, VisualEditor will disclose that the user exists. (It shouldn't because they are hidden.) This is related to ApiVisualEditor.
