Advisory by Jose Carlos Norte

Wordpress is vulnerable to XSS attacks when custom 404 pages are used by the template.

The problem (sidebar.php):

if wordpress template use custom 404 pages, like:

Error 404 - Not Found

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; can contain special characters to break out html and perform XSS attacks, example: if no custom 404 page set by wordpress theme this attacks is not posible.

TUCoPS is optimized to look best in Firefox® on a widescreen monitor (1440x900 or better).
