-\\Discussion WordPress MU is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Versions prior to WordPress MU 2.7 are vulnerable.
-\\Exploit(s)/PoC(s): An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to follow a malicious URI.
The following proof of concept is available:
curl -H "Cookie: my cookies here" -H "Host: <body onload=alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))>" http://www.example.com/wp-admin/profile.php> tmp.html $ firefox tmp.html
-\\Solution The vendor has released WordPress MU 2.7 to address this issue. Please see the references for more information.
