The Incutio XML-RPC (IXR) Library, as used in WordPress before 3.9.2 and Drupal 6.x before 6.33 and 7.x before 7.31, does not limit the number of elements in an XML document, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-5265.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older WordPress and Drupal releases used an XML-RPC library that could spend excessive CPU processing oversized XML documents. A remote attacker could disrupt availability, but the source bundle does not provide a CVSS score or active exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely on legacy WordPress or Drupal installations with XML-RPC reachable. Current, supported deployments should verify they are beyond WordPress 3.9.2, Drupal 6.33, or Drupal 7.31 baselines. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. Prioritize remediation if old WordPress or Drupal instances remain internet-facing, especially on shared infrastructure where CPU exhaustion could affect other services. Mitigation focus: Upgrade WordPress installations to 3.9.2 or later.; Upgrade Drupal 6 to 6.33 or later.; Upgrade Drupal 7 to 7.31 or later..
