In the popular blog/CMS software Wordpress two bugs have been found:
The first bug is within the files "wp-admin/includes/post.php" and 
"wp-admin/includes/class-wp-posts-list-table.php" making it possible to 
publish postings without authorisation.
The second is found in the "wp_validate_auth_cookie()" function in file: 
"wp-includes/pluggable.php" which enables an attacker to bypass the 
cookie based authentication system.

Wordpress already released a update fixing this bugs. Update as soon as 
possible.
