| Detailed Description |
The WordPress program, according to its version number, has multiple vulnerabilities(1). WordPress is a freely available PHP-based publication program that uses a MySQL backend database. WordPress versions 1.2.1 and earlier are vulnerable to multiple cross-site scripting and SQL injection vulnerabilities as follows:
1. The SQL injection issues in the index.php, edit.php and link-categories.php scripts, may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the SQL database.
2. The cross-site scripting issues in the wp-login.php, bookmarklet.php, edit-comments.php, templates.php, link-add.php, link-categories.php, link-manager.php, post.php and moderation.php scripts, may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote WordPress program to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
