TITLE:
WordPress Password Protection Weakness

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39040

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39040/

DESCRIPTION:
MustLive has discovered a weakness in WordPress, which can lead to
exposure of potentially sensitive information.

The weakness is caused due to the application granting access to
password protected pages or posts based on a cookie with a fixed name
(web site-specific). This can lead to the unintended disclosure of
content in password protected posts or pages where the same password
has been set.

The weakness is confirmed in version 2.9.2. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not rely on the password protection or ensure that different
passwords are set for all posts and pages.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
