no, it doesnt matter. the vulnerability is yours and there is absolutely no requirement for you to have reported in x amount of time. you do not need to justify any amount of time.Yeah, I know. I generally do intend to get things out promptly though, and this was a whoops.

As Dave said, there are various levels of administrator in WordPress. But our perspective on these issues is just that a WordPress administrator is not necessarily also a server administrator. Plenty of our clients have staff who are administrators but who certainly do not have anything equivalent to root server access or permissions. There are also plenty of multisite installations of WordPress where the administrators of individual blogs have no permissions on other blogs, or on the main site. Why the delay in discovery til reporting? My fault - a colleague wrote the report, and I didn't notice it at the time.

Although it's rarely used, WordPress does have the capability to support multiple levels of administrators, in which case one may have access to an already installed plugin, but not to install their own. The same may be true if this plugin were installed in multiuser mode, although I haven't kept up on what is permitted in multiuser mode, or whether this plugin works in multiuser mode or not.-- Harry Metcalfe07790 559 876 @harrym _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
