#4691 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Wordpress link-import.php Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability

Reported by: benjaminflesch's profile BenjaminFlesch Owned by: nazgul's profile Nazgul
Milestone: 2.0.11 Priority: normal
Severity: normal Version: 2.2.1
Component: Security Keywords: has-patch
Focuses: Cc:

Description

The parameter opml_url isn’t sanitized and thereby creates an Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.

Anyways, for a successful attack the _wpnonce Authentication Token is needed so this one is quite useless - No one would use XSS to get a Token in order to use another XSS Vulnerability on the same Domain.
