How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable wordpress to version 3.5.2+dfsg-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wordpress package and not the wordpress package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
The default configuration of SWFUpload in WordPress before 3.5.2 has an unrestrictive security.allowDomain setting, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted web site.
