CVSS v3.1 |
| WordPress through 4.8.2 uses a weak MD5-based password hashing algorithm, which makes it easier for attackers to determine cleartext values by leveraging access to the hash values. NOTE: the approach to changing this may not be fully compatible with certain use cases, such as migration of a WordPress site from a web host that uses a recent PHP version to a different web host that uses PHP 5.2. These use cases are plausible (but very unlikely) based on statistics showing widespread deployment of WordPress with obsolete PHP versions. |
| WordPress through 4.8.2, when domain-based flashmediaelement.swf sandboxing is not used, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-domain Flash injection (XSF) attacks by leveraging code contained within the wp-includes/js/mediaelement/flashmediaelement.swf file. |
| Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the wp_ajax_update_plugin function in wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php in WordPress before 4.6 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of subscribers for /dev/random read operations by leveraging a late call to the check_ajax_referer function, a related issue to CVE-2016-6896. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in the wp_ajax_update_plugin function in wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php in WordPress 4.5.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service or read certain text files via a .. (dot dot) in the plugin parameter to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, as demonstrated by /dev/random read operations that deplete the entropy pool. |
| Before version 4.8.2, WordPress was vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack via shortcodes in the TinyMCE visual editor. |
| The wp_ajax_update_plugin function in wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php in WordPress before 4.6 makes a get_plugin_data call before checking the update_plugins capability, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended read-access restrictions via the plugin parameter to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, a related issue to CVE-2016-6896. |
| WordPress 4.8.2 stores cleartext wp_signups.activation_key values (but stores the analogous wp_users.user_activation_key values as hashes), which might make it easier for remote attackers to hijack unactivated user accounts by leveraging database read access (such as access gained through an unspecified SQL injection vulnerability). |
| Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in wp-admin/includes/class-wp-posts-list-table.php in the posts list table in WordPress before 4.7.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted excerpt. |
| In WordPress before 4.7.3, there is authenticated Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via Media File Metadata. This is demonstrated by both (1) mishandling of the playlist shortcode in the wp_playlist_shortcode function in wp-includes/media.php and (2) mishandling of meta information in the renderTracks function in wp-includes/js/mediaelement/wp-playlist.js. |
| Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in WordPress before 4.1.2, when MySQL is used without strict mode, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a (1) four-byte UTF-8 character or (2) invalid character that reaches the database layer, as demonstrated by a crafted character in a comment. |
| SQL injection vulnerability in se_search_default in the Search Everything plugin before 7.0.3 for WordPress allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the s parameter to index.php. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. |
| Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Thank You Counter Button plugin 1.8.7 for WordPress allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) thanks_caption, (2) thanks_caption_style, or (3) thanks_style parameter to wp-admin/options.php. |
| WordPress before 4.5 does not consider octal and hexadecimal IP address formats when determining an intranet address, which allows remote attackers to bypass an intended SSRF protection mechanism via a crafted address. |
| Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in example.html in Genericons before 3.3.1, as used in WordPress before 4.2.2, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a fragment identifier. |
| WordPress before 4.5.3 allows remote attackers to bypass the sanitize_file_name protection mechanism via unspecified vectors. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in the Google Doc Embedder plugin before 2.5.4 for WordPress allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the file parameter to libs/pdf.php. |
| Directory traversal vulnerability in the zing_forum_output function in forum.php in the Zingiri Forum (aka Forums) plugin before 1.4.4 for WordPress allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the url parameter to index.php. |
| Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Mingle Forum plugin before 1.0.34 for WordPress allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) search_words parameter in a search action to wpf.class.php or (2) togroupusers parameter in an add_user_togroup action to fs-admin/fs-admin.php. |
| Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in wpf.class.php in the Mingle Forum plugin before 1.0.34 for WordPress allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter in a viewtopic (1) remove_post, (2) sticky, or (3) closed action or (4) thread parameter in a postreply action to index.php. |
| Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the CommentLuv plugin before 2.92.4 for WordPress allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the _ajax_nonce parameter to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. |
