    <p>
    WordPress is a PHP and MySQL based content management and publishing
    system.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    Due to a lack of input validation, WordPress is vulnerable to SQL
    injection and XSS attacks.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Wordpress users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/wordpress-1.5.1.2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
