Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress versions 2.0.9 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This can be achieved via the popuptitle parameter to API endpoints such as "/wp-admin/post.php" or "/wp-admin/page-new.php".

Recommendations For WordPress versions 2.0.9 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version to mitigate the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the vulnerable API endpoints "/wp-admin/post.php" and "/wp-admin/page-new.php" to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the popuptitle parameter in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
