    Debian Bug     : 1144955 1148368 1148743

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in wordpress, a web blogging
    tool, which could result in cross-site scripting, privilege escalation
    or remote code execution.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 6.8.10+dfsg1-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.

    For the detailed security status of wordpress please refer to its
    security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/wordpress

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
