The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-4985 advisory.
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. In affected versions output data of the function wp_die() can be leaked under certain conditions, which can include data like nonces. It can then be used to perform actions on your behalf.
This has been patched in WordPress 5.8.1, along with any older affected versions via minor releases. It’s strongly recommended that you keep auto-updates enabled to receive the fix. (CVE-2021-39200)
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. ### Impact The issue allows an authenticated but low-privileged user (like contributor/author) to execute XSS in the editor. This bypasses the restrictions imposed on users who do not have the permission to post unfiltered_html
. ### Patches This has been patched in WordPress 5.8, and will be pushed to older versions via minor releases (automatic updates). It’s strongly recommended that you keep auto-updates enabled to receive the fix. ### References https://wordpress.org/news/category/releases/ https://hackerone.com/reports/1142140 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in HackerOne (CVE-2021-39201)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
