  Unspecified vulnerability in Prototype JavaScript framework
  (prototypejs) before 1.6.0.2 allows attackers to make "cross-site

December 2009: The same is true for the latest Wordpress 2.8.6 (from the unmasked,unpacked 2.8.6 ebuild). It has the 1.6.0 Prototype:
 Prototype JavaScript framework, version 1.6.0 
 *  (c) 2005-2007

The latest available prototype is 1.6.1.; don't know if it'll work in any version of Wordpress. 

There is Wordpress ticket 11041, to update its Prototype.  The update is marked for inclusion at milestone Wordpress 3.0: 
  http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11041

This means that there will probably a Wordpress version 2.9 released with the old  Prototype 1.6.0.
