EPSS 2.55%
Description
The (1) get_edit_post_link and (2) get_edit_comment_link functions in wp-includes/link-template.php in WordPress before 2.6.1 do not force SSL communication in the intended situations, which might allow remote attackers to gain administrative access by sniffing the network for a cookie.
