Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress versions prior to 3.5.1

Description The issue involves multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This can be achieved through vectors involving gallery shortcodes or the content of a post.
