Description David Remahl 2005-11-26 01:20:12 UTC 
Parts of the validation mechanism is restricted to bureaucrats. Several parts of the facility do not check for a valid 
wpEditToken, making it vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Basically, by tricking a privileged user into 
clicking on a link or submitting a malicious form, someone could for example change the set of topics.
Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2006-01-08 19:16:32 UTC 
Added a token in HEAD. Not sure if it's worthfull as it seems
the page from Special pages :(
Comment 2 Rob Church 2006-02-22 21:10:14 UTC 
Referenced special page has been removed from CVS; the validation feature as
described is no longer present.
