wp-includes/taxonomy.php in WordPress 3.1 before 3.1.3 and 3.2 before Beta 2 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to "Taxonomy query hardening," possibly involving SQL injection.

According to its self-reported version number, the WordPress application running on the remote web server is prior to 3.1.3.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple unspecified vulnerabilities.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Versions of WordPress prior to 3.1.3 are susceptible to the following vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw exists related to media security. (CVE-2011-3122)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to security hardening. (CVE-2011-3125)
 - A flaw exists that allows remote attackers to determine usernames of non-authors via canonical redirects. (CVE-2011-3126)
 - A flaw exists which fails to prevent rendering for admin or login pages inside a frame in a third-party HTML document.  A remote attacker may exploit this to conduct clickjacking attacks via a crafted web site. (CVE-2011-3127)
 - A flaw exists that treats unattached attachments as published, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive data via vectors related to 'wp-includes/post.php'. (CVE-2011-3128)
 - An unspecified flaw exists related to file upload functionaliy. (CVE-2011-3129)
 - An unspecified flaw exists in 'wp-includes/taxonomy.php' related to taxonomy query hardening which may allow an attacker to conduct an SQL injection attack. (CVE-2011-3130)

Several vulnerabilities were identified in WordPress, a web blogging tool. As the CVEs were allocated from releases announcements and specific fixes are usually not identified, it has been decided to upgrade the wordpress package to the latest upstream version instead of backporting the patches.

This means extra care should be taken when upgrading, especially when using third-party plugins or themes, since compatibility may have been impacted along the way. We recommend that users check their install before doing the upgrade.
