According to its self-reported version number, the WordPress application running on the remote web server is 4.9.x prior to 4.9.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
- Use a properly generated hash for the newbloguser key instead of a determinate substring.
- Add escaping to the language attributes used on html elements.
- Ensure the attributes of enclosures are correctly escaped in RSS and Atom feeds.
- Remove the ability to upload JavaScript files for users who do not have the unfiltered_html capability.
