includes/specials/SpecialChangePassword.php in MediaWiki before 1.19.14, 1.20.x and 1.21.x before 1.21.8, and 1.22.x before 1.22.5 does not properly handle a correctly authenticated but unintended login attempt, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by arranging for a victim to login to the attackers account, as demonstrated by tracking the victims activity, related to a login CSRF issue.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
