CSRF

Tim Starling reported: [1] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/showbug.cgi?id=24565#c0

a deficiency in the way MediaWiki processed private cache headers for almost all API operations. Further exact flaw implications from Tim [1]:

A user's browser can be tricked into requesting private data with public caching headers, via a CSRF-style attack on an external web page. The attacker would cause the victim's browser to request private data with public caching headers, then the attacker would download the same data from the intermediate HTTP proxy, bypassing access controls.
