2008-04-17 08:07:50 Matthew Paul Thomas description 1. Go to <http://urlx.org/launchpad.net/6ee5c>. 2. Try to do anything that requires you to be logged in to Launchpad. What happens: You get either a login page, or an "application error" (bug 2115). This is not a security problem, but it is an annoyance: random Web pages shouldn't be able to log you out of Launchpad. One way of fixing this would be to make logout require a POST, and require a token that's included as a hidden form field in all pages Launchpad serves you. 1. Go to <https://launchpad.net/+logout>. 2. Try to do anything that requires you to be logged in to Launchpad. What happens: You get either a login page, or an "application error" (bug 2115).
