CVE-2011-4899
HighExploitation Probability (EPSS)
Very high risk95th percentile - higher than 95% of all known CVEs
Summary
Plik wp-admin/setup-config.php w komponencie instalacyjnym WordPressa w wersji 3.3.1 i wcześniejszych nie weryfikuje, czy określona usługa bazy danych MySQL jest odpowiednia. To pozwala zdalnym atakującym na skonfigurowanie dowolnej bazy danych za pomocą parametrów dbhost i dbname, co może prowadzić do wstrzykiwania kodu oraz ataków XSS.
Risk Assessment
Ryzyko dla organizacji polega na możliwości zdalnego wykonania kodu, co może prowadzić do poważnych naruszeń bezpieczeństwa i utraty danych. Atakujący mogą wykorzystać tę podatność do przejęcia kontroli nad systemem.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację WordPressa do najnowszej wersji, aby usunąć tę podatność. Dodatkowo, należy wprowadzić odpowiednie zabezpieczenia w konfiguracji bazy danych oraz monitorować logi w celu wykrywania nieautoryzowanych prób dostępu.

SunEditor before 3.4.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability because the html.clean() sanitizer's _normalizeURL() function decodes named entities like : to an empty string. Attackers can inject href values such as javascript: that pass the _isSafeURL() check but are decoded by browsers, executing JavaScript when victims click stored links.
Original NVD description (English source)
wp-admin/setup-config.php in the installation component in WordPress 3.3.1 and earlier does not ensure that the specified MySQL database service is appropriate, which allows remote attackers to configure an arbitrary database via the dbhost and dbname parameters, and subsequently conduct static code injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via (1) an HTTP request or (2) a MySQL query. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this issue; however, remote code execution makes the issue important in many realistic environments
