Description:
Blake Matheny has reported a vulnerability in Wordpress, which can potentially be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of pingbacks. This can be exploited to determine the existence of certain files or to disclose certain content of arbitrary files.
Successful disclosure of certain content requires that automatic pingbacks are configured to be included as comments.
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.1.
