Hi David! You need to look harder ;-). Looks like you checked these two themes on those sites, admins of which deleted this file. There are admins who can understand that scripts with phpinfo must not be at working sites (but it's rare cases, and larger part of the sites with affected themes for WP contain test.php). Yes, I've check all these 15 themes (I've tested even more and wasted a lot of time on it, but found exactly at these 15 themes). I've found them at live web sites in Internet, as I mentioned earlier. Here are examples of the sites with test.php in Typebased and NewsPress themes: http://thenetexperiment.com/wp-content/themes/typebased/includes/test.php http://coporan.3x.ro/wp-content/themes/newspress/includes/test.php For example, in April I was trying to find test.php in these 15 and other themes at WooThemes' demo site, but they haven't this file in any of their themes (among those tested by me). So as for their own sites, then they understand the risk, and when to sell holes for large price for their clients, then they already don't understand the risk and position it as a feature :-).

Did you check them all? On 4 June 2011 17:17, MustLive <mustlive () websecurity com ua> wrote: Hello list! I want to warn you about Information Leakage and Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities in multiple themes for WordPress. ------------------------- Affected products: ------------------------- Vulnerable are the next themes by WooThemes: Live Wire (all three themes from Live Wire series), Gotham News, Typebased, Blogtheme, VibrantCMS, Fresh News, The Gazette Edition, NewsPress, The Station, The Original Premium News, Flash News, Busy Bee, Geometric. Other vulnerable themes for WP are possible. ---------- Details: ---------- In different themes there is test.php - script with phpinfo() - which leads to Information Leakage (disclosure of FPD and other important information about the server) and XSS (in PHP < 4.4.1, 4.4.3-4.4.6). Information Leakage (WASC-13): http://site/wp-content/themes/_theme's_name_/includes/test.php XSS (WASC-08): http://site/wp-content/themes/_theme's_name_/includes/test.php?a[]=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)%3C/script%3E For Live Wire the script is placed at address http://site/wp-content/themes/livewire/includes/test.php, similarly for other themes. ------------ Timeline: ------------ 2011.04.11 - announced at my site. 2011.04.12 - informed developers. 2011.06.04 - disclosed at my site. These vulnerabilities are still not fixed by developers. So users of these themes are need to fix the vulnerabilities manually (e.g. by deleting of this script). I mentioned about these vulnerabilities at my site (http://websecurity.com.ua/5071/).
