Which MediaWiki software version is this about?

This is for version 1.20.4.

I could not find an existing ticket when searching for "protect && {mail | message | notif}" in this bug tracker. Hence no idea if this is still an issue in a recent (and supported) version of MediaWiki, still I recommend upgrading for security reasons.

I couldn't find any bugs on this either (old or new), which is why I reported this. Our wiki is internal to our company and behind a firewall. We will be upgrading as soon as it is practical.
