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 / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/wordpress < 1.5.1.3 >= 1.5.1.3
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:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/wordpress-1.5.1.3"
