            Bug ID: 54847
           Summary: Data leakage user table "new" databases like
                    wikidatawiki_p and the wikivoyage databases
           Product: Wikimedia Labs
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized

The user table in the wikidatawiki_p database leaks private information.
Everything is visible! Most important:
* user_password - Do I need to say more?
* user_email - email should be restricted, not public info.
* user_touched - last time user visited the site
* user_token - cookie token, can be used to take over a session

Checked some other random db's and these seem ok.

I asked Coren to take down the database server.
