    CVE-2007-0541

    Published: 29 Jan 2007Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: WordPress allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files, and possibly read portions of certain files, via pingback service calls with a source URI that corresponds to a local pathname, which triggers different fault codes for existing and non-existing files, and in certain configurations causes a brief file excerpt to be published as a blog comment.
