Comment (by nacin):

 To be clear: The problem here is the potential for simultaneous upgrades —
 see #3901 — *not* any kind of authentication issue. We've long ago made
 the determination that DB upgrades do not require authentication.

 The existing core upgrader currently relies on this — it fires a DB
 upgrade automatically by sending an unauthenticated HTTP request. This
 means that most people actually never see this page anymore.

 Cron jobs that run `curl -s .../wp-admin/upgrade.php?step=upgrade_db` also
 rely on this.
