Hello list,

I wonder if we should remove security-tag from issue #500295? It is
tracked as TEMP-0500295-A176F7, but I do not think that this is
security vulnerability. It should also be removed from CVE/list as it
won't get CVE identifier. I do not see any practical attack vectors for
this issue. Security tracker data at the moment:

CVE-2008-XXXX [possible script injection via /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php]
    - wordpress <unfixed> (bug #500295; unimportant)
    NOTE: bigger problems, if attacker has access to /etc/wordpress/*

In my opinion we should not leave non-issues to tracker.
