Descriptions

The ApiBase::getWatchlistUser function in MediaWiki before 1.23.10, 1.24.x before 1.24.3, and 1.25.x before 1.25.2 does not perform token comparison in constant time, which allows remote attackers to guess the watchlist token and bypass CSRF protection via a timing attack.

Vulnerabilidad en la función ApiBase::getWatchlistUser en MediaWiki en versiones anteriores 1.23.10, 1.24.x en versiones anteriores 1.24.3 y 1.25.x en versiones anteriores a 1.25.2, no realiza el token de comparación en tiempo constante, lo que permite a atacantes remotos adivinar el token de lista de observación y evadir la protección CSRF a través de un ataque de oportunidad.
