by cross-site scripting attacks.");

"The remote version of WordPress is vulnerable to cross-site scripting
attacks due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-
supplied URI input.

As a result of this vulnerability, it is possible for a remote
attacker to create a malicious link containing script code that will
be executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user when followed. This
may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as
well as other attacks.");
