Re: Wordpress - Broken Access Control



The is_admin() function is not supposed to tell whether a user is an 
administrator or not, it tells whether the user is looking at one of the 
administration pages. As such, this function does exactly what it is supposed 
to do.

As for the rest, there is no flaw. To view a draft, the user must authenticate 
and have the correct capability set. There is no way to view drafts without 
being logged in and having that capability set on the user's role level.

This "vulnerability" is non-existent.
