A vulnerability has been identified in WordPress, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary scripting code. This issue is due to input validation errors in the "wp_get_referer()" and "add_query_arg()" [wp-includes/functions.php] functions when processing user-supplied parameters (e.g. the "post" parameter to "wp-admin/post.php"), 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.
