A minor flaw in WordPress has much wider implications - it potentially exposes an organisation to data leakage.

While many may deem the risk as low, it potentially leaves a listed company at risk of insider trading, or a design company to copyright theft.
WhiteHat Security’s Technical Evangelist Robert Hansen has outlined how this flaw works and what the implications are. Please see the full text below.
