NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wordpress package and not the wordpress package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

wp-admin/press-this.php in WordPress before 3.0.6 does not enforce the publish_posts capability requirement, which allows remote authenticated users to perform publish actions by leveraging the Contributor role.
