WordPress 4.2.2 is prone to a cross site scripting vulnerability that allows an authenticated user to bypass intended access restrictions and create drafts by leveraging the Subscriber role. Also, it allows to inject web script or HTML by leveraging the Author role to place a crafted shortcode inside an HTML element, that is related to wp-includes/kses.php and wp-includes/shortcodes.php.
