DESCRIPTION:
Michael Brooks has discovered a vulnerability in WordPress, which can
be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions and to disclose sensitive information.

The application does not properly restrict access to posted drafts to
users with valid administrator credentials. This can be exploited to
read drafts by accessing the index.php script with data in the
"PATH_INFO" URL part ending with "wp-admin/".

Examples:
http://[host]/[path]/index.php/wp-admin/
http://[host]/[path]/index.php/test-wp-admin/

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.3.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not post sensitive information as drafts.
