            Bug ID: 46457
           Summary: Autoblocked address can be sniffed on
                    Special:Contributions
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Special pages
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

If 127.0.0.1 is autoblocked, [[Special:Contributions/127.0.0.1]] shows a link
"change block" instead of "block", though there's no block log shown. However
imagine there's only one autoblock listed in Special:BlockList, or a user is
newly blocked with autoblock enabled, a malicious sysop may check contribution
pages of all IP addresses for this link text change from "block" to "change
block", and associate this IP with the user triggering this autoblock.
