| Description: | WordPress before 5.1.1 does not properly filter comment content, leading to Remote Code Execution by unauthenticated users in a default configuration. This occurs because CSRF protection is mishandled, and because Search Engine Optimization of A elements is performed incorrectly, leading to XSS. The XSS results in administrative access, which allows arbitrary changes to .php files. This is related to wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php and wp-includes/comment.php. | |
| Impact: | An attacker can execute arbitrary code via a successful exploit in the context of the vulnerable software. | |
| Affected OS: | Windows, Linux, Others | |
