FAUCET Score

CVE-2009-2432 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in WordPress and WordPress MU versions prior to 2.8.1, where a direct request to wp-settings.php could reveal the installation path in an error message. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a medium severity, as it requires no authentication and has low attack complexity, potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.
