DESCRIPTION:
Samenspender has discovered a vulnerability in WordPress, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the “post” parameter in wp-admin/post.php (when “action”
is set to “delete”) is not properly sanitised before being returned to a
user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in
a user’s browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation requires that the target user is logged in as
administrator.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1.1. Other versions may also
be affected.
