Descriptions
The wp_create_nonce function in wp-includes/pluggable.php in WordPress 3.3.1 and earlier associates a nonce with a user account instead of a user session, which might make it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks on specific actions and objects by sniffing the network, as demonstrated by attacks against the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and wp-admin/user-new.php scripts. NOTE: the vendor reportedly disputes the significance of this issue because wp_create_nonce operates as intended, even if it is arguably inconsistent with certain CSRF protection details advocated by external organizations
** EN DISPUTA ** La función wp_create_nonce en wp-includes/pluggable.php en WordPress v3.3.1 y anteriores asocia un "nomce" con una cuenta de usuario en lugar de con una sesión de usuario, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos realizar ataques de falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados (CSRF) en acciones específicas y objetos espiando el tráfico de la red, como se demostró con el ataque contra los scripts wp-admin/admin-ajax.php y wp-admin/user-new.php. NOTA: El desarrollador disputa la importancia de este problema, por que wp_create_nonce funciona como está previsto incluso si es incompatible con algunas protecciones CSRF incorporadas por organizaciones externas.
