Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to track down what is the cause of the non-logged-in user
and the 0-sized file written to /tmp. I'm having trouble auditing the
use of tempnam for my Mediawiki installation.

I think Mediawiki should provide a wrapper for tempnam, like
$wfTempName(...). Ensure the wrapper uses sys_get_temp_dir().
Additionally, the Mediawiki linter should flag direct use of tempnam
and point authors to use the wrapper function.

Even better, provide a complete wrapper for the tempnam so tempnam is
not used. Allow us to put tempnam on the banned function list.

Here's the PHP documentation in tempname:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.tempnam.php.

Here's what we get back when trying to audit the use of tempnam:
