Dist Debian Esm H88
WordPress has rolled out an update addressing several CVEs that include vulnerabilities related to unauthorized script execution and flaws in the password reset mechanism on Debian 8 systems.
Multiple CVE(s) were discovered in the src:wordpress package

Summary

CVE-2020-11026

Files with a specially crafted name when uploaded to the
Media section can lead to script execution upon accessing
the file. This requires an authenticated user with privileges
to upload files.

CVE-2020-11027

A password reset link emailed to a user does not expire upon
changing the user password. Access would be needed to the email
account of the user by a malicious party for successful execution.

CVE-2020-11028

Some private posts, which were previously public, can result in
unauthenticated disclosure under a specific set of conditions.

CVE-2020-11029

A vulnerability in the stats() method of class-wp-object-cache.php
can be exploited to execute cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
4.1.30+dfsg-0+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wordpress packages.
