http://secunia.com/advisories/24306/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
WordPress 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/6745/

DESCRIPTION:
PsychoGun has discovered a vulnerability in WordPress, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed to the "file" parameter in wp-admin/templates.php (when
"action" is set to "update") is not properly sanitised before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

Successful exploitation requires that the target user is logged in as
an administrator.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
