      Multiple XSS Vulnerabilities in WordPress
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://wordpress.org/> WordPress is "a state-of-the-art semantic
    personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards,
    and usability".

    The WordPress product has been found to contain multiple cross site
    scripting vulnerabilities.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * WordPress version 1.2.1 and prior

    Immune Systems:
     * WordPress version 1.2.2

    wp-login.php CSS:
    The following code can be seen inside the wp-login.php file:
    > // If someone has moved WordPress let's try to detect it
    > if ( dirname('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) != get_settings('siteurl') )
    > update_option('siteurl', dirname('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) );

    With an URI like
    /wp-login.php?=">< script>alert(document.cookie)</script></script>
    An attacker is able to store arbitrary values in the global siteurl
    setting.

    An additional parameter of wp-login.php that is vulnerable is
    'redirect_to'.

    Multiple /wp-admin/ CSS:
    The following files and their corresponding parameters are vulnerable to a
    cross site scripting vulnerabilities:

    /wp-admin/bookmarklet.php?popupurl=[XSS]
    /wp-admin/bookmarklet.php?content=[XSS]
    /wp-admin/edit-comments.php?s=[XSS]

    /wp-admin/post.php?content=[XSS]
