Hello Bugtraq!

and Full path disclosure vulnerabilities in plugin Register Plus for
WordPress.

Vulnerable are versions of plugin Register Plus 3.5.1 and previous versions.
Also for Insufficient Anti-automation are vulnerable WordPress 3.0.1 and
previous versions.

Timeline:
------------
2010.09.17 - announced at my site.
2010.09.18 - informed developer.
2010.11.24 - disclosed at my site.
Taking into account, that this plugin is no more supported by developer,
then users of the plugin need to fix these holes by themselves.
I mentioned about these vulnerabilities at my site
(http://websecurity.com.ua/4539/).
