 Anyone can log you out of any WordPress install using CSRF (i.e. pointing
 you to the /wp-login.php?action=logout for that blog). This can aid in
 phishing attempts, and can have unforeseen security ramifications.

 Log out actions should have their intention validated via nonce with
 fallback to AYS.
