Impact

Notes

Not sure which area is causing this. The contributions page does list and format comments, so maybe further fallout from the CommentFormatter. Tentatively tagging as such.

Might be a regression from T292791: Oldest revisions not listed in the correct order /cc @tstarling.

There were around 35 of these errors, all around 11 hours ago. Is this really UBN or can we lower the priority?

Zabe subscribed.Oct 14 2021, 3:12 PM

Sorry, I didn't make it UBN. Someone changed the task creation form to do this by default.

Krinkle moved this task from Untriaged to Oct 2021 on the Wikimedia-production-error board.Oct 27 2021, 6:38 PM

If we look at the URLs in logstash we can see something like /w/index.php?contribs=user&limit=50&month=1&namespace=&tagfilter=&target=127.0.0.1&title=Special:Contributions&year=3cCnJTIY'%20OR%20486=(SELECT%20486%20FROM%20PG_SLEEP(12)) - the 'year' parameter is garbage, someone is trying to do a little SQL injection here.

I guess we should just get use WebRequest::getIntOrNull instead of WebRequest::getVal for the 'year' and 'month' parameters
