Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in WordPress, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or scripting code.

The first issue is due to an input validation error when decoding trackbacks with different charsets, which could be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL and PHP injection attacks.

The second vulnerability is due to input validation errors in the CSRF protection module included with the administration interface, which could be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site.
