Multiple WordPress Themes Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities in WooThemes and other WordPress themes, leading to Information Leakage and XSS

Code
`Hello list!  
  
I want to warn you about Information Leakage and Cross-Site Scripting  
vulnerabilities in multiple themes for WordPress.  
  
-------------------------  
Affected products:  
-------------------------  
  
Vulnerable are the next themes by WooThemes: Live Wire (all three themes  
from Live Wire series), Gotham News, Typebased, Blogtheme, VibrantCMS, Fresh  
News, The Gazette Edition, NewsPress, The Station, The Original Premium  
News, Flash News, Busy Bee, Geometric. Other vulnerable themes for WP are  
possible.  
  
----------  
Details:  
----------  
  
In different themes there is test.php - script with phpinfo() - which leads  
to Information Leakage (disclosure of FPD and other important information  
about the server) and XSS (in PHP < 4.4.1, 4.4.3-4.4.6).  
  
Information Leakage (WASC-13):  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/_theme's_name_/includes/test.php  
  
XSS (WASC-08):  
  
http://site/wp-content/themes/_theme's_name_/includes/test.php?a[]=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)%3C/script%3E  
  
For Live Wire the script is placed at address  
http://site/wp-content/themes/livewire/includes/test.php, similarly for  
other themes.  
  
------------  
Timeline:  
------------  
  
2011.04.11 - announced at my site.  
2011.04.12 - informed developers.  
2011.06.04 - disclosed at my site.  
  
These vulnerabilities are still not fixed by developers. So users of these   
themes are need to fix the vulnerabilities manually (e.g. by deleting of   
this script).  
  
I mentioned about these vulnerabilities at my site  
(http://websecurity.com.ua/5071/).  
  
Best wishes & regards,
