Comment:

 This isn't actually a security issue.  The redirection only shows the
 dashboard if you're already logged in with a cookie.  If you're not logged
 in, you get the login prompt.

 It is, however, broken, because you should see the entry, not the
 dashboard/admin login box.

 Still broke as of 2.6.1 beta2
