CVE-2015-8626 (CCN-110287)

Assigned:2015-12-23
Published:2015-12-23
Updated:2017-03-27
Summary:The User::randomPassword function in MediaWiki before 1.23.12, 1.24.x before 1.24.5, 1.25.x before 1.25.4, and 1.26.x before 1.26.1 generates passwords smaller than $wgMinimalPasswordLength, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.
