Overview

johnpbloch/wordpress-core is a web software you can use to create a website or blog.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect due to insufficient validation of the Referer header and _wp_http_referer request parameter when a user accesses a link with an expired or invalid nonce. An attacker can redirect a victim to a potentially malicious site by tricking the victim into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
