    <p>
    WordPress is a PHP and MySQL based content management and
    publishing system.

  <description>
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There are no known workarounds at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All WordPress users should upgrade to the latest available
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apps/wordpress-1.5.1.3"</code>
  </resolution>
