Description:
6
 
 The cookie authentication method in WordPress 2.5 relies on a hash of a
7
 
 concatenated string containing USERNAME and EXPIRY_TIME, which allows
8
 
 remote attackers to forge cookies by registering a username that results in
9
 
 the same concatenated string, as demonstrated by registering usernames
10
 
 beginning with "admin" to obtain administrator privileges, aka a
11
 
 "cryptographic splicing" issue.  NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of
12
 
 an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-6013.
