Descriptions

wp-includes/comment.php in WordPress before 3.0.2 does not properly whitelist trackbacks and pingbacks in the blogroll, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended spam restrictions via a crafted URL, as demonstrated by a URL that triggers a substring match.

wp-includes/comment.php en WordPress anterior a la versión 3.0.2 no incluye en lista blanca los trackbacks y pingbacks en el blogroll, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evadir restricciones de SPAM intencionadas mediante una URL manipulada, tal y como se demostró mediante una URL que genera una coincidencia de subcadena.
