Description

LICENSE README.md cvefilelist cvelist nvdcve nvdpages.sh scripts test-CVE-2017-1882.markdown test-CVE-2017-18822.markdown tmpvendorlinks DISPUTED LICENSE README.md cvefilelist cvelist nvdcve nvdpages.sh scripts test-CVE-2017-1882.markdown test-CVE-2017-18822.markdown tmpvendorlinks wp-admin/setup-config.php in the installation component in WordPress 3.3.1 and earlier generates different error messages for requests lacking a dbname parameter depending on whether the MySQL credentials are valid which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute-force attacks via a series of requests with different uname and pwd parameters. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this issue; also it is unclear whether providing intentionally vague error messages during installation would be reasonable from a usability perspective.
