There is currently a security issue with wordpress regarding the wordpress admin modules: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/35584

Make sure and update to wordpress 2.8.1. Here is a excerpt of the advisory from wordpress:

“WordPress 2.8.1 fixes many bugs and tightens security for plugin administration pages. Core Security Technologies notified us that admin pages added by certain plugins could be viewed by unprivileged users, resulting in information being leaked. Not all plugins are vulnerable to this problem, but we advise upgrading to 2.8.1 to be safe.”
