CVE-2013-4572
The CentralNotice extension for MediaWiki before 1.19.9, 1.20.x before 1.20.8, and 1.21.x before 1.21.3 sets the Cache-Control header to cache session cookies when a user is autocreated, which allows remote attackers to authenticate as the created user.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
