Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-04-22 17:34:12 UTC
CVE-2010-1150 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-1150):
  MediaWiki before 1.15.3, and 1.6.x before 1.16.0beta2, does not
  properly handle a correctly authenticated but unintended login
  attempt, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to
  conduct phishing attacks by arranging for a victim to login to the
  attacker's account and then execute a crafted user script, related to
  a "login CSRF" issue.

I added mediawiki-1.15.5 to the tree a couple days ago which has fixes for this issue.
