WordPress 2.6.3 relies on the REQUEST superglobal array in certain dangerous situations, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct delayed and persistent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks via crafted cookies, as demonstrated by attacks that (1) delete user accounts or (2) cause a denial of service (loss of application access). NOTE: this issue relies on the presence of an independent vulnerability that allows cookie injection.
The _httpsrequest function (Snoopy/Snoopy.class.php) in Snoopy 1.2.3 and earlier, as used in (1) ampache, (2) libphp-snoopy, (3) mahara, (4) mediamate, (5) opendb, (6) pixelpost, and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in https URLs.
Directory traversal vulnerability in the get_category_template function in wp-includes/theme.php in WordPress 2.3.3 and earlier, and 2.5, allows remote attackers to include and possibly execute arbitrary PHP files via the cat parameter in index.php. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
SQL injection vulnerability in ajax_comments.php in the WP Comment Remix plugin before 1.4.4 for WordPress allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the p parameter.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in wpcommentremix.php in WP Comment Remix plugin before 1.4.4 for WordPress allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) replytotext, (2) quotetext, (3) originallypostedby, (4) sep, (5) maxtags, (6) tagsep, (7) tagheadersep, (8) taglabel, and (9) tagheaderlabel parameters.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the wpcr_do_options_page function in WP Comment Remix plugin before 1.4.4 for WordPress allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions as administrators via a request that sets the wpcr_hidden_form_input parameter.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in wp-admin/wp-blogs.php in Wordpress MU (WPMU) before 2.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) s and (2) ip_address parameters.
SQL injection vulnerability in stnl_iframe.php in the ShiftThis Newsletter (st_newsletter) plugin for WordPress allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the newsletter parameter, a different vector than CVE-2008-0683.
The SpamBam plugin for WordPress allows remote attackers to bypass restrictions and add blog comments by using server-supplied values to calculate a shared key.
WordPress before 2.6.2 does not properly handle MySQL warnings about insertion of username strings that exceed the maximum column width of the user_login column, and does not properly handle space characters when comparing usernames, which allows remote attackers to change an arbitrary user's password to a random value by registering a similar username and then requesting a password reset, related to a "SQL column truncation vulnerability." NOTE: the attacker can discover the random password by also exploiting CVE-2008-4107.
