Package: wordpress Severity: normal Tags: security
Hi, the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was published for wordpress. CVE-2008-5695[0]: | wp-admin/options.php in WordPress MU before 1.3.2, and WordPress 2.3.2 | and earlier, does not properly validate requests to update an option, | which allows remote authenticated users with manage_options and | upload_files capabilities to execute arbitrary code by uploading a PHP | script and adding this script's pathname to active_plugins. Since only admins have manage_options capabilities and only editors have upload_files capabilities, I am using severity normal. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE id in your changelog entry.
