[21:24:12] <ToBeCloud>	 Asking out of curiosity and because I don't want to find out by trying, I have seen that MySQL syntax allows creating "loops", and that these can be endless when done wrong (or purposefully wrong). Apart for conducting a TOS violation, what happens when using such a loop in a quarry.wmflabs.org query? Is the "loop" function disabled, and could a user construct a query that does not just waste CPU time but also a damaging amount of memory?
[21:24:47] <ToBeCloud>	 digging more into the "possible security issue" region, can any newly registered user do this?
[21:26:43] <mutante>	 ToBeCloud: maybe ask this in #wikimedia-cloud
[21:27:40] <ToBeCloud>	 Oh, ok, thanks
[21:27:56] <ToBeCloud>	 heh, that's 14 wikimedia channels now
[21:29:02] <mutante>	 ToBeCloud: you may create a ticket too , you can select "security" if you think it's sensitive. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Creating_a_task
[21:29:16] <mutante>	 that would likely be most effective as it removes the need for realtime
[21:30:37] <ToBeCloud>	 hmm
[21:30:38] <ToBeCloud>	 okay, Phabricator is probably a better venue. I'll search to see if someone raised this before too
[21:33:36] <mutante>	 ToBeCloud: yea, sounds best, thanks for reporting
[21:39:15] <ToBeCloud>	 thanks for the tip, although I guess it will be either "sure, we thought of this already" or "WONTFIX". :) The ticket is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212015
[21:45:26] <mutante>	 ToBeCloud: thanks, i added the quarry tag
[21:47:15] <ToBeCloud>	 oh thanks
