Description

Wordpress contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to compromise a vulnerable system. The issue is triggered due to a lack of proper sanitization of various fields when registering or updating the user profile before being stored in PHP scripts in the wp-content/cache/userlogins/ and wp-content/cache/users/ directories inside the web root. It is possible that the flaw may allow an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code via the newline character resulting in a loss of integrity.
