Descriptions

The CentralAuth extension for MediaWiki 1.19.x before 1.19.8, 1.20.x before 1.20.7, and 1.21.x before 1.21.2 caches a valid CentralAuthUser object in the centralauth_User cookie even when a user has not successfully logged in, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication without a password.

La extensión de MediaWiki CentralAuth 1.19.x anterior a 1.19.8, 1.20.7 anterior a 1.20.x y 1.21.x anterior 1.21.2 almacena en caché un objeto CentralAuthUser válida en la cookie centralauth_User incluso cuando el usuario no ha iniciado la sesión correctamente, lo que permite atacantes remotos evitar la autenticación sin contraseña.
