Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-20 18:22:44 UTC
"WordPress 2.8.2 fixes an XSS vulnerability. Comment author URLs were not
   fully sanitized when displayed in the admin. This could be exploited to
   redirect you away from the admin to another site."
Comment 1 Tobias Scherbaum (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-20 18:44:47 UTC
2.8.2 in CVS.
