Wordpress: Multiple vulnerabilities Wordpress contains SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities. Wordpress June 06, 2005 May 22, 2006: 02 88926 94512 remote 1.5.1.2 1.5.1.2

WordPress is a PHP and MySQL based content management and publishing system.

Due to a lack of input validation, WordPress is vulnerable to SQL injection and XSS attacks.

An attacker could use the SQL injection vulnerabilities to gain information from the database. Furthermore the cross-site scripting issues give an attacker the ability to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Wordpress users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/wordpress-1.5.1.2"
