Hello,
We’re pleased to announce security and maintenance updates for Wikibase
Suite that are compatible with MediaWiki 1.35 and 1.36. These updates,
which include the release of new container images, take the form of two new
Suite versions: wmde.7 and wmde.8, respectively.
Release wmde.7 includes two security fixes for issues in the Wikibase
extension:
-
Validate term length in Special:NewProperty (phab:T308659
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T308659>)
-
Escape message in hook handler (phab:T302215)
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302215>
Note that wmde.8 release is based on Mediawiki version 1.36 which is no
longer maintained. We provide this update for technical reasons, as
updating to the most recent 1.36-compatible Wikibase version will be needed
to update Wikibase to Mediawiki 1.37. WMDE will be releasing that new
version shortly. The wmde.8 release includes a fix for the “Escape message
in hook handler” issue (phab:T302215
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302215>).
Both releases also include minor updates, such as translation updates for
MediaWiki and the Wikibase and WikibaseLocalMedia extensions, as well as
the Query Service UI and Quick Statements.
