#168529 Synopsis 
    Wordpress contains several cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery
    and information leak vulnerabilities.
   2. 
            Impact Information Background 
    WordPress is a popular personal publishing platform with a web
    interface.
     Description 
    WordPress contains cross-site scripting or cross-site scripting forgery
    vulnerabilities reported by:
     
g30rg3_x in the "year"
    parameter of the wp_title() functionAlexander Concha in the
    "demo" parameter of wp-admin/admin.phpSamenspender and Stefan
    Friedli in the "post" parameter of wp-admin/post.php and
    wp-admin/page.php, in the "cat_ID" parameter of wp-admin/categories.php
    and in the "c" parameter of wp-admin/comment.phpPsychoGun in
    the "file" parameter of wp-admin/templates.php 
     
    Additionally, WordPress prints the full PHP script paths in some error
    messages.
     Impact 
    The cross-site scripting vulnerabilities can be triggered to steal
    browser session data or cookies. A remote attacker can entice a user to
    browse to a specially crafted web page that can trigger the cross-site
    request forgery vulnerability and perform arbitrary WordPress actions
    with the permissions of the user. Additionally, the path disclosure
    vulnerability could help an attacker to perform other attacks.
     3. 
            Resolution Information Workaround 
    There is no known workaround at this time for all these
    vulnerabilities.
     Resolution 
    Due to the numerous recently discovered vulnerabilities in WordPress,
    this package has been masked in the portage tree. All WordPress users
    are advised to unmerge it.
