  <background>
    <p>
    WordPress is a popular personal publishing platform with a web
    interface.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    WordPress contains cross-site scripting or cross-site scripting forgery
    vulnerabilities reported by:
    </p>
    <ul><li>g30rg3_x in the "year"
    parameter of the wp_title() function</li>
    <li>Alexander Concha in the
    "demo" parameter of wp-admin/admin.php</li>
    <li>Samenspender and Stefan
    Friedli in the "post" parameter of wp-admin/post.php and
    wp-admin/page.php, in the "cat_ID" parameter of wp-admin/categories.php
    and in the "c" parameter of wp-admin/comment.php</li>
    <li>PsychoGun in
    the "file" parameter of wp-admin/templates.php</li>
    </ul> <p>
    </p>
    <p>
    Additionally, WordPress prints the full PHP script paths in some error
    messages.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    The cross-site scripting vulnerabilities can be triggered to steal
    browser session data or cookies. A remote attacker can entice a user to
    browse to a specially crafted web page that can trigger the cross-site
    request forgery vulnerability and perform arbitrary WordPress actions
    with the permissions of the user. Additionally, the path disclosure
    vulnerability could help an attacker to perform other attacks.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time for all these
    vulnerabilities.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    Due to the numerous recently discovered vulnerabilities in WordPress,
    this package has been masked in the portage tree. All WordPress users
    are advised to unmerge it.
    </p>
    <code>
    
    # emerge --unmerge "www-apps/wordpress"</code>
  </resolution>
