Descriptions
wp-admin/setup-config.php in the installation component in WordPress 3.3.1 and earlier generates different error messages for requests lacking a dbname parameter depending on whether the MySQL credentials are valid, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute-force attacks via a series of requests with different uname and pwd parameters. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this issue; also, it is unclear whether providing intentionally vague error messages during installation would be reasonable from a usability perspective
** CONTROVERTIDO ** wp-admin/setup-config.php en el componente de instalación de WordPress v3.3.1 y anteriores genera diferentes mensajes de error para las solicitudes que carecen de un parámetro dbname dependiendo de si las credenciales MySQL son válidas, lo facilita a los atacantes remotos a la hora de llevar a cabo ataque de fuerza bruta a través de un gran numero de peticiones con diferentes parámetros 'uname' y 'pwd'. NOTA: el vendedor se opone a la importancia de este problema. Por otra parte, tampoco está claro si proporcionar mensajes de error intencionalmente vagos durante la instalación es razonable desde la perspectiva de la usabilidad.
WordPress versions 3.3.1 and below suffer from MySQL username/password disclosure, PHP code execution and cross site scripting vulnerabilities.
