Description
================

Vulnerability
================
WordPress Mobile Pack contains a PHP file which allows anybody – authenticated or otherwise – to read all public and password protected posts (draft and private posts appear not to be affected).

Proof of concept

Create a password-protected post

Your password-protected post is now visible to everybody in the form of JSON wrapped in “x()”

Example output:
x (
{
\"articles\": [
{
\"id\": 849,
\"title\": \"Secret post\",
\"timestamp\": 1406231170,
\"author\": \"admin\",
\"date\": \"Thu, Jul 24, 2014, 19:46\",
\"link\": \"http://wp.local/?p=849\",
