Insufficient Password Length Generation Vulnerability

CVE-2015-8626 · MEDIUM Severity

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

The User::randomPassword function in MediaWiki before 1.23.12, 1.24.x before 1.24.5, 1.25.x before 1.25.4, and 1.26.x before 1.26.1 generates passwords smaller than $wgMinimalPasswordLength, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.
