description
Semantic MediaWiki versions 3.0.0 through before 7.3.1 are affected by uncontrolled recursion while parsing nested queries. An unauthenticated remote party can cause resource exhaustion and disrupt request handling by reaching the ask API.
mitigation
Upgrade SemanticMediaWiki to version 7.3.1 or later. Until upgraded, restrict unauthenticated access to the ask API where operationally feasible.
fixed in 7.3.1
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
