CVE-2007-0541 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 2.52% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
