Bug #: 38909
Summary: Typo shows Username in log
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.18.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Logging
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently MW shows userenames that are not present in the log. That could leak
passwords to the log if the user did not safely hit the "tab" or klicks within
the password field on login. In my wikilog I found an entry similar to this:
13:16, 28 June 2012 WikiSysop (Talk | contribs | block) Fehler beim Login
(Der Benutzername „AnyusernameAnypassword“ ist nicht vorhanden. Bitte
überprüfen Sie die Schreibweise.)
IMHO it would be more safe to reflect something like: A User with IP
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx entered an unknown username.
