ManageWiki is a MediaWiki extension allowing users to manage wikis. Versions before commit f504ed8, are vulnerable to SQL injection when renaming a namespace in Special:ManageWiki/namespaces when using a page prefix (namespace name, which is the current namespace you are renaming) with an injection payload. This issue has been patched in commit f504ed8. A workaround for this vulnerability involves setting $wgManageWiki['namespaces'] = false;.
