Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the request_filesystem_credentials function in wp-admin/includes/file.php in WordPress before 3.0.2 allow remote servers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by providing a crafted error message for a (1) FTP or (2) SSH connection attempt.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE is an old WordPress admin-side XSS issue fixed before WordPress 3.0.2. A malicious or compromised FTP/SSH server could send a crafted error message that WordPress displayed as script or HTML in the filesystem credentials workflow. Exposure is limited to WordPress installations older than 3.0.2, especially where administrators use FTP or SSH filesystem credential prompts. The provided sources do not identify affected plugins, themes, or later WordPress branches. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not supported here as actively exploited, but any WordPress version this old is operationally risky and should be upgraded or retired. Mitigation focus: Upgrade WordPress core to 3.0.2 or later.; Check current vendor guidance for unsupported legacy WordPress branches.; Avoid connecting admin filesystem prompts to untrusted FTP or SSH servers..
