Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-pagenavi domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Source

Exploit-DB raw data:

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/26885/info

WordPress is prone to a vulnerability that lets unauthorized users read draft posts before they have been published.

This issue affects WordPress 2.3.1; other versions may also be affected.

NOTE: This BID is being reinstated because further investigation reveals that the application is vulnerable. The exploit URI supplied in the initial report was not sufficient to trigger the issue, which led to the vulnerability claim being refuted. However, follow-up information from the reporter included a URI that does trigger the issue.
