WordPress Core < 2.0.2 - Sensitive Information Disclosure
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
WordPress 2.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to (1) default-filters.php, (2) template-loader.php, (3) rss-functions.php, (4) locale.php, (5) wp-db.php, and (6) kses.php in the wp-includes/ directory; and (7) edit-form-advanced.php, (8) admin-functions.php, (9) edit-link-form.php, (10) edit-page-form.php, (11) admin-footer.php, and (12) menu.php in the wp-admin directory; and possibly (13) list directory contents of the wp-includes directory. NOTE: the vars.php, edit-form.php, wp-settings.php, and edit-form-comment.php vectors are already covered by CVE-2005-4463. The menu-header.php vector is already covered by CVE-2005-2110. Other vectors might be covered by CVE-2005-1688. NOTE: if the typical installation of WordPress does not list any site-specific files to wp-includes, then vector [13] is not an exposure.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.0.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
