Descriptions

Wordpress 1.5 through 2.3.1 uses cookie values based on the MD5 hash of a password MD5 hash, which allows attackers to bypass authentication by obtaining the MD5 hash from the user database, then generating the authentication cookie from that hash.

Wordpress versiones 1.5 hasta 2.3.1, usa valores de cookies basados ??en el hash MD5 de un hash MD5 de contraseñas, lo que permite a atacantes omitir la autenticación mediante la obtención del hash MD5 desde la base de datos del usuario, y luego generar la cookie de autenticación a partir de ese hash.
