The forgotten mail interface in WordPress and WordPress MU before 2.8.1
exhibits different behavior for a password request depending on whether the
user account exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid
usernames. NOTE: the vendor reportedly disputes the significance of this
issue, indicating that the behavior exists for “user convenience.”
