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.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

2.67% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 86% of all scored CVEs.
