Description
This plugin finds usernames in WordPress installations. The author’s archive page is tried using “?author=ID” query and incrementing the ID for each request until 404. If the response is a redirect, the blog is affected by TALSOFT-2011-0526 (http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/May/493) advisory. If no redirect is done, the plugin will try to fetch the username from title.
