Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wordable plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.1.1

Description The issue is related to authentication bypass due to the use of a user-supplied hashing algorithm passed to the hash hmac() function and a loose comparison on the hash. This allows an attacker to trick the function into thinking it has a valid hash, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain administrator privileges.

Recommendations For Wordable plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.1.1, update to a version later than 3.1.1 to resolve the issue.
