| Vulnerability Name: | CVE-2008-1930 (CCN-42027) | ||||||||
| Assigned: | 2008-04-25 | ||||||||
| Published: | 2008-04-25 | ||||||||

| Summary: | The cookie authentication method in WordPress 2.5 relies on a hash of a concatenated string containing USERNAME and EXPIRY_TIME, which allows remote attackers to forge cookies by registering a username that results in the same concatenated string, as demonstrated by registering usernames beginning with "admin" to obtain administrator privileges, aka a "cryptographic splicing" issue. Note: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-6013. | ||||||||
