Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in template-functions-post.php in WordPress 1.5 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the (1) content or (2) title of the post.

Wordpress 1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to files in (1) wp-content/themes/, (2) wp-includes/, or (3) wp-admin/, which reveal the path in an error message.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in post.php in WordPress 1.5.1.2 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) p or (2) comment parameter.

SQL injection vulnerability in XMLRPC server in WordPress 1.5.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via input that is not filtered in the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA variable, which stores the data in an XML file.

wp-login.php in WordPress 1.5.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to change the content of the forgotten password e-mail message via the message variable, which is not initialized before use.

WordPress 1.5.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via (1) a direct request to menu-header.php or a "1" value in the feed parameter to (2) wp-atom.php, (3) wp-rss.php, or (4) wp-rss2.php, which reveal the path in an error message. NOTE: vector [1] was later reported to also affect WordPress 2.0.1.

Direct code injection vulnerability in WordPress 1.5.1.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the cache_lastpostdate[server] cookie.

WordPress before 1.5.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to (1) wp-includes/vars.php, (2) wp-content/plugins/hello.php, (3) wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php, (4) wp-admin/edit-form.php, (5) wp-settings.php, and (6) wp-admin/edit-form-comment.php, which leaks the path in an error message related to undefined functions or failed includes. NOTE: the wp-admin/menu-header.php vector is already covered by CVE-2005-2110. NOTE: the vars.php, edit-form.php, wp-settings.php, and edit-form-comment.php vectors were also reported to affect WordPress 2.0.1.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the "post comment" functionality of WordPress 2.0.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) name, (2) website, and (3) comment parameters.

WordPress 2.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to (1) default-filters.php, (2) template-loader.php, (3) rss-functions.php, (4) locale.php, (5) wp-db.php, and (6) kses.php in the wp-includes/ directory; and (7) edit-form-advanced.php, (8) admin-functions.php, (9) edit-link-form.php, (10) edit-page-form.php, (11) admin-footer.php, and (12) menu.php in the wp-admin directory; and possibly (13) list directory contents of the wp-includes directory. NOTE: the vars.php, edit-form.php, wp-settings.php, and edit-form-comment.php vectors are already covered by CVE-2005-4463. The menu-header.php vector is already covered by CVE-2005-2110. Other vectors might be covered by CVE-2005-1688. NOTE: if the typical installation of WordPress does not list any site-specific files to wp-includes, then vector [13] is not an exposure.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the paging links functionality in template-functions-links.php in Wordpress 1.5.2, and possibly other versions before 2.0.1, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML to Internet Explorer users via the request URI ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).

Direct static code injection vulnerability in WordPress 2.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by inserting a carriage return and PHP code when updating a profile, which is appended after a special comment sequence into files in (1) wp-content/cache/userlogins/ (2) wp-content/cache/users/ which are later included by cache.php, as demonstrated using the displayname argument.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in plugins/wp-db-backup.php in WordPress before 2.0.5 allow remote authenticated users to read or overwrite arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in the (1) backup and (2) fragment parameters in a GET request.

wp-admin/user-edit.php in WordPress before 2.0.5 allows remote authenticated users to read the metadata of an arbitrary user via a modified user_id parameter.

WordPress before 2.0.5 does not properly store a profile containing a string representation of a serialized object, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a string that represents a (1) malformed or (2) large serialized object, because the object triggers automatic unserialization for display.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in wp-admin/templates.php in WordPress 2.0.5 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the file parameter. NOTE: some sources have reported this as a vulnerability in the get_file_description function in wp-admin/admin-functions.php.

WordPress before 2.0.6, when mbstring is enabled for PHP, decodes alternate character sets after escaping the SQL query, which allows remote attackers to bypass SQL injection protection schemes and execute arbitrary SQL commands via multibyte charsets, as demonstrated using UTF-7.

The wp_remote_fopen function in WordPress before 2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth or thread consumption) via pingback service calls with a source URI that corresponds to a large file, which triggers a long download session without a timeout constraint.

WordPress allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth or thread consumption) via pingback service calls with a source URI that corresponds to a file with a binary content type, which is downloaded even though it cannot contain usable pingback data.

WordPress allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files, and possibly read portions of certain files, via pingback service calls with a source URI that corresponds to a local pathname, which triggers different fault codes for existing and non-existing files, and in certain configurations causes a brief file excerpt to be published as a blog comment.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the AdminPanel in WordPress 2.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to perform privileged actions as administrators, as demonstrated using the delete action in wp-admin/post.php. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and steal cookies via the post parameter.

xmlrpc (xmlrpc.php) in WordPress 2.1.2, and probably earlier, allows remote authenticated users with the contributor role to bypass intended access restrictions and invoke the publish_posts functionality, which can be used to "publish a previously saved post."

SQL injection vulnerability in xmlrpc (xmlrpc.php) in WordPress 2.1.2, and probably earlier, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via a string parameter value in an XML RPC mt.setPostCategories method call, related to the post_id variable.

SQL injection vulnerability in wp-admin/admin-ajax.php in WordPress before 2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the cookie parameter.

Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in WordPress before 2.2.1 and WordPress MU before 1.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code by making a post that specifies a .php filename in the _wp_attached_file metadata field; and then sending this file's content, along with its post_ID value, to (1) wp-app.php or (2) app.php.
