Vulnerabilities in Wordpress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script 
insertion attacks.Input passed to certain parameters in various scripts isn't properly verified before it is returned 
to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML or script code in a user's browser session in context of 
an affected site by tricking the user into visiting a malicious website or follow a specially crafted link.

 

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the 
context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to 
launch other attacks.
