NVD Description

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

Wordpress 1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to files in (1) wp-content/themes/, (2) wp-includes/, or (3) wp-admin/, which reveal the path in an error message.
