Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in functions.php in the default theme in WordPress 2.2 allows remote authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH_INFO (REQUEST_URI) to wp-admin/themes.php, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-1622. NOTE: this might not cross privilege boundaries in some configurations, since the Administrator role has the unfiltered_html capability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old WordPress 2.2 issue in the default theme. It lets an authenticated Administrator inject script or HTML through the theme administration path. In standard WordPress, administrators may already be allowed to post unfiltered HTML, so business impact depends on local role boundaries and configuration. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy WordPress 2.2 installations using the default theme and allowing Administrator access to theme administration. The provided data does not identify broader affected versions, fixed versions, or modern product exposure. Prioritize as legacy-platform cleanup rather than an emergency, unless WordPress 2.2 still supports business-critical sites or delegated administrators. Unsupported WordPress instances create broader operational risk beyond this specific XSS. Mitigation focus: Inventory any remaining WordPress 2.2 systems and default theme usage.; Check WordPress and distribution advisories, including Debian DSA-1502, for supported upgrade guidance.; Retire or isolate unsupported legacy WordPress instances where upgrade is not immediately possible..
