Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in WordPress 2.2.1 allow remote authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the Options Database Table in the Admin Panel, accessed through options.php; or (2) the opml_url parameter to link-import.php. 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

CVE-2007-4153 is an old WordPress 2.2.1 issue where an authenticated administrator could store or trigger script/HTML through admin features. The business risk is mainly for organizations still running very old WordPress, especially exposed admin consoles. The source notes this may not exceed normal administrator privileges. Exposure appears limited to WordPress 2.2.1 deployments where administrator access exists. Systems using later WordPress versions or not exposing these admin functions are not shown as affected by the provided sources. Prioritize remediation if any production site still runs WordPress 2.2.1. The CVE is old and admin-scoped, but legacy WordPress exposure often signals broader operational risk beyond this specific XSS. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire any WordPress 2.2.1 deployments.; Apply vendor or distribution guidance, including the Debian advisory where relevant.; Restrict WordPress admin access to trusted networks and users..
