Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: WordPress: Multiple vulnerabilities (GLSA 200507-02)
Severity: high
Exploitable: remote
Date: July 04, 2005
Bug(s): #97374
ID: 200507-02
Synopsis
WordPress contains PHP script injection, cross-site scripting and path disclosure vulnerabilities.
Background
WordPress is a PHP and MySQL based content management and publishing system.
Affected Packages
Package: www-apps/wordpress
Vulnerable: < 1.5.1.3
Unaffected: >= 1.5.1.3
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
James Bercegay of the GulfTech Security Research Team discovered that WordPress insufficiently checks data passed to the XML-RPC server. He also discovered that WordPress has several cross-site scripting and full path disclosure vulnerabilities.
Impact
An attacker could use the PHP script injection vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary PHP script commands. Furthermore the cross-site scripting vulnerabilities could be exploited to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.
Workaround
There are no known workarounds at this time.
Resolution
All WordPress users should upgrade to the latest available version: Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/wordpress-1.5.1.3" |
