TITLE:
WordPress "demo" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24430

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24430/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

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

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

Input passed to the "demo" parameter in wp-admin/admin.php (when
"import" is set to "mt") is not properly sanitised before being
returned to a 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
administrator.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
