Summary
WordPress stores cleartext wp_signups.activation_key values (but
stores the analogous wp_users.user_activation_key values as hashes),
which might make it easier for remote attackers to hijack unactivated
user accounts by leveraging database read access (such as access
gained through an unspecified SQL injection vulnerability).
For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
3.6.1+dfsg-1~deb7u19.
We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
