Impact

Low

Notes

This is on old 1.46.0-wmf.1 but as the involved code has not seen changes lately I assume that this is still a valid issue.

In Logstash we can see that there is a nonsensical …&duration=6048009776799 URL parameter passed to the special page. I can't tell what this value is supposed to represent or where it comes from. It's neither a Unix timestamp nor a relative duration. It would be great to find the source and fix it.
