Re: CVE Request - Wordpress 3.5 Full-path disclosure vulnerability

Yes, I also agree that wordpress should fix this and I understand that this
is a low-priority mostly configuration related issue. I was just not sure
if this was eligible for a CVE or not. I'll keep this reference in mind for
future times.

Thanks for the help!

You are correct. No CVE, but WordPress should still fix this. Please note
that
some configuration errors still get CVE, but this is not one of those in my
opinion/knowledge. Path disclosures are usually low-priority issues.
