Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in swfupload.swf in SWFupload 2.2.0.1 and earlier, as used in WordPress before 3.5.2, TinyMCE Image Manager 1.1 and earlier, and other products allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the buttonText parameter, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-3414.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an older browser-side XSS issue in SWFUpload’s Flash uploader. A vulnerable swfupload.swf could let a remote attacker inject script or HTML through a parameter. Business risk is mainly for legacy websites or admin tools still serving this Flash file, especially old WordPress and TinyMCE Image Manager deployments. Exposure is most likely in legacy web applications that still host swfupload.swf from SWFUpload 2.2.0.1 or earlier. The named products are WordPress before 3.5.2 and TinyMCE Image Manager 1.1 and earlier. Modern exposure may be reduced by Flash deprecation, but stale files can remain reachable. Prioritize if the organization still runs legacy WordPress, TinyMCE Image Manager, or custom applications from this era. This is not KEV-listed in the supplied data, but externally reachable legacy upload components deserve prompt cleanup because XSS can affect users and administrators. Mitigation focus: Upgrade WordPress installations to 3.5.2 or later where applicable.; Remove or disable obsolete swfupload.swf files if no longer required.; Update or replace TinyMCE Image Manager versions 1.1 and earlier..
