New description:

 Simon Repp just discovered this odd behaviour on the Hauptraum
 Surfstation:

 Open the Issue tracker.
 Click Login.
 You are now logged in as XXXXXXX. (without being asked for or providing
 any credentials!!)

 This should not happen.

 Regression:
 Firefox in private mode. No cookies are stored, all cookies deleted,
 firefox quit and reopened. Behaviour is still the same.

 Security implication: Allows impersonification, maybe even unfriendly
 takeover of an account.
