Wordpress 1.5 through 2.3.1 uses cookie values based on the MD5 hash of a password MD5 hash, which allows attackers to bypass authentication by obtaining the MD5 hash from the user database, then generating the authentication cookie from that hash.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older WordPress versions used a weak cookie design tied to the stored password hash. If an attacker obtained a user’s database password hash, they could create a valid login cookie and access that account without knowing the password. Exposure is limited to legacy WordPress 1.5 through 2.3.1 deployments or systems restored from old images. Current exposure depends on whether any such installations remain reachable and whether database password hashes were exposed. Prioritize remediation if any affected WordPress version is still online or if historical database leakage is plausible. The issue enables account takeover after hash exposure, but evidence here does not confirm active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire WordPress 1.5 through 2.3.1 installations.; Upgrade legacy WordPress deployments according to vendor guidance.; Rotate affected user passwords if database hashes may have been exposed..
