Descriptions

The WordPress plugin, WP Database Reset through 3.1, contains a flaw that allowed any unauthenticated user to reset any table in the database to the initial WordPress set-up state (deleting all site content stored in that table), as demonstrated by a wp-admin/admin-post.php?db-reset-tables[]=comments URI.

El plugin de WordPress, WP Database Reset versiones hasta 3.1, contiene un fallo que permitió a cualquier usuario no autenticado restablecer cualquier tabla de la base de datos al estado inicial de configuración de WordPress (eliminando todo el contenido del sitio almacenado en esta tabla), como es demostrado por un URI wp-admin/admin-post.php?db-reset-tables[]=comments.
