Vulnerability: Bypassing Password Change Restrictions in MediaWiki

CVE-2013-2032 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

MediaWiki before 1.19.6 and 1.20.x before 1.20.5 does not allow extensions to prevent password changes without using both Special:PasswordReset and Special:ChangePassword, which allows remote attackers to bypass the intended restrictions of an extension that only implements one of these blocks.
