Debian Linux Security Advisory 5279-2 - Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Wordpress, a web blogging tool. They allowed remote attackers to perform SQL injection, create open redirects, bypass authorization access, or perform Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) or Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The wordpress package released in DSA-5279-1 had incorrect dependencies that could not be satisfied in Debian stable. This update corrects the problem.

The SVG Support plugin for WordPress defaults to insecure settings in version 2.5 and 2.5.1. SVG files containing malicious javascript are not sanitized. While version 2.5 adds the ability to sanitize image as they are uploaded, the plugin defaults to disable sanitization and does not restrict SVG upload to only administrators. This allows authenticated attackers, with author-level privileges and higher, to upload malicious SVG files that can be embedded in posts and pages by higher privileged users. Additionally, the embedded JavaScript is also triggered on visiting the image URL, which allows an attacker to execute malicious code in browsers visiting that URL.
