           Summary: Special:Userlogin loads mw gadget scripts, potential
                    security orifice
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: User login
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


The userlogin page does disable the MediaWiki:Common.js and
so on down to the the user's javascript.

However if a user has selected gadgets using specialprefs
and re-visits the userlogin page after logging in (perhaps
to switch to their other-other account :p) a malicious
gadget could go south with the password, just as easily as
it could on the specialprefs page where on-wiki javascript
is disabled for (I thought) the same concern.
