CVE-2012-5868: Infoleak

First published: Thu Dec 27 2012(Updated: )

WordPress 3.4.2 does not invalidate a wordpress_sec session cookie upon an administrator's logout action, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover valid session identifiers via a brute-force attack, or modify data via a replay attack.
