CVE-2018-20147
Authors could modify metadata to bypass intended restrictions on deleting files.
CVE-2018-20148 Contributors could conduct PHP object injection attacks via crafted metadata in a wp.getMediaItem XMLRPC call. This is caused by mishandling of serialized data at phar:// URLs in the wp_get_attachment_thumb_file function in wp-includes/post.php.
CVE-2018-20149
When the Apache HTTP Server is used, authors could upload crafted files that bypass intended MIME type restrictions, leading to XSS, as demonstrated by a .jpg file without JPEG data.
CVE-2018-20150
Crafted URLs could trigger XSS for certain use cases involving plugins.
CVE-2018-20151
The user-activation page could be read by a search engine’s web crawler if an unusual configuration were chosen. The search engine could then index and display a user’s e-mail address and (rarely) the password that was generated by default.
CVE-2018-20152
Authors could bypass intended restrictions on post types via crafted input.
CVE-2018-20153
Contributors could modify new comments made by users with greater privileges, possibly causing XSS.
For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.25+dfsg-1+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
