WordPress before 1.5.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to (1) wp-includes/vars.php, (2) wp-content/plugins/hello.php, (3) wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php, (4) wp-admin/edit-form.php, (5) wp-settings.php, and (6) wp-admin/edit-form-comment.php, which leaks the path in an error message related to undefined functions or failed includes. NOTE: the wp-admin/menu-header.php vector is already covered by CVE-2005-2110. NOTE: the vars.php, edit-form.php, wp-settings.php, and edit-form-comment.php vectors were also reported to affect WordPress 2.0.1.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old WordPress full-path disclosure issue. Certain direct requests can trigger error messages that reveal server filesystem paths. That is usually not enough to compromise a site by itself, but it can help attackers map hosting layouts and support later attacks. Exposure is most likely on internet-facing legacy WordPress installations, abandoned copies, or old plugin/core files still reachable by the web server. Modern supported WordPress deployments are less likely affected, but the bundle does not provide definitive fixed-version evidence for all reported vectors. Treat this as a hygiene and legacy-risk issue, not an emergency. Prioritize remediation where old WordPress sites are public, unmaintained, or part of sensitive hosting environments. Mitigation focus: Inventory public WordPress sites and identify unsupported or legacy versions.; Upgrade or retire affected WordPress installations using vendor-supported guidance.; Remove abandoned WordPress copies and stale web-accessible core files..
