Descriptions

The CentralNotice extension for MediaWiki before 1.19.9, 1.20.x before 1.20.8, and 1.21.x before 1.21.3 sets the Cache-Control header to cache session cookies when a user is autocreated, which allows remote attackers to authenticate as the created user.

La extensión CentralNotice para MediaWiki versiones anteriores a 1.19.9, versiones 1.20.x anteriores a 1.20.8 y versiones 1.21.x anteriores a 1.21.3, establece el encabezado Cache-Control para almacenar en caché las cookies de sesión cuando un usuario es autocreado, lo que permite a atacantes remotos autenticarse como usuario creado.
