Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An input sanitization bypass was discovered in Wordpress, a popular content management framework. An attacker can use this flaw to send malicious scripts to an unsuspecting user.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
