Title: MediaWiki Session Fixation Vulnerability

Overview:

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.
