  - Authors could alter meta data to delete files that they weren't authorized to.

  - Authors could create posts of unauthorized post types with specially crafted input.

  - Contributors could craft meta data in a way that resulted in PHP object injection.

  - Contributors could edit new comments from higher-privileged users, potentially leading to a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

  - Specially crafted URL inputs could lead to a cross-site scripting vulnerability in some circumstances.
  WordPress itself was not affected, but plugins could be in some situations.

  - The user activation screen could be indexed by search engines in some uncommon configurations,
  leading to exposure of email addresses, and in some rare cases, default generated passwords.

  - Authors on Apache-hosted sites could upload specifically crafted files that bypass MIME verification,
  leading to a cross-site scripting vulnerability.");
