            Bug ID: 65891
           Summary: Session cookies (and data) being shared between web
                    services cause issues
           Product: Wikimedia Labs
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: tools
          Assignee: [email protected]

As the session id cookie is identical between tools, the first one to save a
session prevents others from doing so because of permissions.  If the
permissions allowed it, it would - at best - cause sessions overwriting each
other and at worst leak information and possibly authentication tokens between
tools.

Fixing this requires either

(a) per-tool session.cookie_path so that every tool maintains distinct sessions
or
(b) per-tool session.save_path so that every tool maintains separate session
