FreeBSD : wordpress -- multiple vulnerabilities (043d3a78-f245-4938-9bc7-3d0d35dd94bf)

high Nessus Plugin ID 70515

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The wordpress development team reports :

- Block unsafe PHP unserialization that could occur in limited situations and setups, which can lead to remote code execution.

- Prevent a user with an Author role, using a specially crafted request, from being able to create a post 'written by' another user.

- Fix insufficient input validation that could result in redirecting or leading a user to another website.

Additionally, we've adjusted security restrictions around file uploads to mitigate the potential for cross-site scripting.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
