Several vulnerabilities were discovered
in Wordpress, a web blogging tool. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
CVE-2014-0165
A user with a contributor role, using a specially crafted
request, can publish posts, which is reserved for users of the
next-higher role.
CVE-2014-0166
Jon Cave of the WordPress security team discovered that the
wp_validate_auth_cookie function in wp-includes/pluggable.php does
not properly determine the validity of authentication cookies,
allowing a remote attacker to obtain access via a forged cookie.
