Mediawiki before 1.28.1 / 1.27.2 / 1.23.16 contains a flaw where the "Mark all pages visited" on the watchlist does not require a CSRF token.
The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
