DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in WordPress, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks
and disclose potentially sensitive information and by malicious
people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed via the post title when performing a "Quick Edit" or
"Bulk Edit" action and via the "post_status", "comment_status", and
"ping_status" parameters is not properly sanitised before being used.
This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which
will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an
affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

2) Certain input passed via tags in the tags meta-box 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 of these vulnerabilities requires the
"Author" or "Contributor" role.

3) The application incorrectly enforces user access restrictions when
accessing posts via the media uploader and can be exploited to
disclose the contents of e.g. private or draft posts.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the "Author"
role.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 3.0.5.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.0.5.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.

The vendor also credits Saddy and:
