Descriptions
In WordPress before 4.9.9 and 5.x before 5.0.1, the user-activation page could be read by a search engine's web crawler if an unusual configuration were chosen. The search engine could then index and display a user's e-mail address and (rarely) the password that was generated by default.
En WordPress, en versiones anteriores a la 4.9.9 y versiones 5.x anteriores a la 5.0.1, la página de activación de usuarios podría ser leída por el crawler web de un motor de búsqueda si se elige una configuración inusual. El motor de búsqueda podría listar y mostrar la dirección de email de un usuario y (raramente) la contraseña que se generó por defecto.
