CVE-2013-5738

WordPress < 3.6.1 - Authenticated Cross-Site Scripting via HTML File Upload

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The get_allowed_mime_types function in wp-includes/functions.php in WordPress before 3.6.1 does not require the unfiltered_html capability for uploads of .htm and .html files, which might make it easier for remote authenticated users to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted file.
