CVE-2024-29898
An oversight during the writing of the patch for CVE-2024-29897 may have exposed suppressed wiki requests to private wikis that added Special:RequestWikiQueue to the read whitelist to users without the `(read)` permission.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.69%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
