+ <title>WordPress: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ WordPress is vulnerable to SQL injection, information disclosure, and
+ cross-site scripting attacks.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ WordPress is a popular personal publishing platform with a web
+ interface.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ When decoding trackbacks with alternate character sets, WordPress does
+ not correctly sanitize the entries before further modifying a SQL
+ query. WordPress also displays different error messages in wp-login.php
+ based upon whether or not a user exists. David Kierznowski has
+ discovered that WordPress fails to properly sanitize recent file
+ information in /wp-admin/templates.php before sending that information
+ to a browser.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could inject arbitrary SQL into WordPress database queries.
+ An attacker could also determine if a WordPress user existed by trying
+ to login as that user, better facilitating brute force attacks. Lastly,
+ an attacker authenticated to view the administrative section of a
+ WordPress instance could try to edit a file with a malicious filename;
+ this may cause arbitrary HTML or JavaScript to be executed in users'
+ browsers viewing /wp-admin/templates.php.
+ </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-2.0.6&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
