Descriptions

WordPress allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files, and possibly read portions of certain files, via pingback service calls with a source URI that corresponds to a local pathname, which triggers different fault codes for existing and non-existing files, and in certain configurations causes a brief file excerpt to be published as a blog comment.

WordPress permite a atacantes remotos determinar la existencia de archivos de su elección, y posiblemente leer porciones de determinados archivos, mediante llamadas al servicio pingback con un URI origen que corresponde a un nombre de ruta local, lo cual dispara diferentes códigos de error para archivos existentes e inexistentes, y en determinadas configuraciones provoca que un breve extracto del archivo sea publicado como un comentario del blog.
