WordPress · Wordpress · CVE-2013-5739
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WordPress versions prior to 3.6.1
**Description**
The issue concerns the default configuration, which does not prevent uploads of certain file types, potentially making it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted file. This is related to the `get allowed mime types` function in `wp-includes/functions.php`.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 3.6.1, update to version 3.6.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting file uploads to prevent the upload of .swf and .exe files until the update is applied.
