-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : wordpress Version : 5.0.20+dfsg1-0+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-5561 CVE-2023-39999

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wordpress, a popular content management framework, which may lead to exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in WordPress or allowing unauthenticated attackers to discern the email addresses of users who have published public posts on an affected website via an Oracle style attack.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 5.0.20+dfsg1-0+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.

For the detailed security status of wordpress please refer to its security tracker page at:
