           Summary: Cascade protection and file redirects
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Page protection
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


If page [[A]] has a file link to [[File:foo]] and [[File:foo]] is a redirect to
[[File:Bar]] Bar is not protected when [[A]] is cascade protected. Thus it
opens a exploit to vandals to attack important pages if/when they end up using
file redirects instead of direct links.
