High
Reference: CVE-2020-25827
NVD Link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-25827
Title: MediaWiki Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts Vulnerability
Overview:

An issue was discovered in the OATHAuth extension in MediaWiki before 1.31.10 and 1.32.x through 1.34.x before 1.34.4. For Wikis using OATHAuth on a farm/cluster (such as via CentralAuth) rate limiting of OATH tokens is only done on a single site level. Thus multiple requests can be made across many wikis/sites concurrently.
