The following has just cropped up in the Topix Computer Science feed (6

Oracle attack on Wordpress

| This post describes the second of two vulnerabilities I found in
| Wordpress. The first, a XSS vulnerability, was described last week. While
| the vulnerability discussed here is applicable in fewer cases than the
| previous one, it is an example of a comparatively rare class, oracle
| attacks, so I think merits further exposition.
