Package : wordpress Version : 5.7.14+dfsg1-0+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-6307 CVE-2024-31111 CVE-2025-58246 CVE-2025-58674 Debian Bug : 1074486 1117047

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wordpress, a popular content management framework.

CVE-2024-6307

WordPress Core is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting via the HTML API due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on URLs. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

CVE-2024-31111

Improper neutralization of input during web gage generation (XSS or Cross-site Scripting) vulnerability in Automattic WordPress allows Stored XSS.

CVE-2025-58246

Insertion of sensitive information into sent data vulnerability in WordPress allows retrieval of embedded sensitive data.

CVE-2025-58674

Improper neutralization of input during web page generation (Cross-site Scripting) vulnerability in WordPress allows Stored XSS.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 5.7.14+dfsg1-0+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
