CVE-2009-2334 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-2334):
  wp-admin/admin.php in WordPress and WordPress MU before 2.8.1 does
  not require administrative authentication to access the configuration
  of a plugin, which allows remote attackers to specify a configuration
  file in the page parameter to obtain sensitive information or modify
  this file, as demonstrated by the (1)
  collapsing-archives/options.txt, (2) akismet/readme.txt, (3)
  related-ways-to-take-action/options.php, (4)
  wp-security-scan/securityscan.php, and (5) wp-ids/ids-admin.php
  files. NOTE: this can be leveraged for cross-site scripting (XSS) and
  denial of service.
