CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in WordPress before 2.0.4 have unknown impact and remote attack vectors. NOTE: due to lack of details, it is not clear how these issues are different from CVE-2006-3389 and CVE-2006-3390, although it is likely that 2.0.4 addresses an unspecified issue related to "Anyone can register" functionality (user registration for guests).
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-4028 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
