CVE-2007-0541: WordPress

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 2.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.
