Summary: Delete Extension:Passwordstr
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.15-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
The Extension:Passwordstr purposely weakens user password
strengths by excluding many possible passwords from the
choices, users can make. By its regexp rules, many of which
can easily be determined automatically, brute force password
cracking automats can spare some tests and thus find passwords
faster.
We should recommend not using this kind of pseudo-wannabe-security.
Better delete the extension altogether.
